I kinda like this trend. Sure, it's sad that this could kill smaller ones like A8 but game engines are getting more and
more sophisticated and smaller dev teams or one-man developers are having a hard time keeping up because
without all these features there's a shitload to do (like graphics programming for example) if you don't
use top notch engines - which lot's of people cannot afford.

But by providing these tools for free they allow these developers to focus less on engine related problems/limitations
but on the game itself which, I think, will cause improvements in graphics and gameplay to occur faster then before.
