I read on many sites, e.g....
* English: https://www.theverge.com/news/759016/tesla-in-car-graphics-unreal-engine
* German: https://www.golem.de/news/fahrzeugvisualisierung-tesla-soll-wechsel-zur-unreal-engine-planen-2508-199152.html
...that Tesla might be switching from the "Godot"- to the "Unreal"-engine.
Are there any REAL reasons known for such a switch? (eg. about bad_support/bad_performance/bad_adhoc_customizations/bad_overall_approach/whatever...)
Reason: I just started this week looking for a 3D-engine (candidates so far are Godot & Bevy, other options tbd) and this news made me wonder if I should be "more careful" about Godot... ?
Nothing wrong with Godot — it’s doing great right now and is rapidly improving, and is a serious competitor in the indie space.
