Studios using UE5 need to realize this right now: the problem isn’t that UE6 deprecates Actors/Blueprints in favour of Verse, or even that Verse is ugly af. The problem is that Verse is not designed to make AAA games. It’s designed to make UEFN/Roblox games. Sooo… good luck to Godot, I guess?

“You got a real attitude problem, Prince Adam! You’re a slacker! No Prince has amounted to anything in the whole history of Eternia!”

Now that I’ve watched “Masters of the Universe” (1987), I’m totally going to adopt “I’ll be there in half a chromon” and “this will be ready in a preton” as normal things to say.
