The creation engine won because it’s an in-house engine. Why would Bethesda want to pay the licensing fees to Epic games lol.

They probably got a proposal on how great it is and how it can cut down labor costs, time and more bullshit. Fuck the c suites.

It’s not really an in-house engine. It’s a heavily modified Gamebryo engine.
