Unity should make their own games

You know how epic games published fortnite??
well it’ll be cool if unity did the same by like publishing a game because IMO tech demos aren’t you know that exciting (I mean i like them but I like games more) you know because instead of just showing at a tech convention “this is what you can do in unity” they should be like “this is what WE did in unity and you can try it out…” for starters the HDRP FPS sample was good…
( I really hope I’m making sense because I’m in a hurry right now and don’t have much time to write this… )

Personally I think they should, as they could push the engine to all its limits and produce something gorgeous.

However, I think this topic has already been discussed here:

Should Unity make their own games?

I hope this is the right place for this, it seems feedback is bye-bye ... Unity is an awesome tool I love using almost every day. It also feels like some things are painfully missing for too long. I realize that a lot of cool things are happening behind the scenes. And that there's unseen complexity behind why some features take longer to bake than others. But... Example 1: Nested Prefabs. They're largely wonderful. But during the showcase video, even the team presenting them made comments a…

Perfect timing this was on the Unity Discord server.
read the last questions from the interview:

John Riccitiello interview — Is Epic buying Unity’s developers?

They def are taking a step in that direction (not just unity fps) but I doubt they cross into publishing.

Check this recent twitter conversation, and in particular the couple of replies from Will Goldstone.

Hey Matt, we are pivoting most of core R&D to work on a big production, we just aren’t talking about it much yet.

Oh cool, that’s what I’d like core R&D working on. Something other than the engine.

Id be fine with this if they hired an entire new division for it, but not if current resources are diverted towards it.

We’ve just about discussed everything there is to discuss about this topic.

Competing directly with your core customers is a bad idea…

Indeed, it has been discussed over and over. And over again. Ultimately unity’s business plan seems to be working for them, despite everyone providing their ‘advice’.
