Default Crytek Plans Free Version of CryENGINE 3

Develop reports that Crytek, makers of the Far Cry series, the Crysis series, and the game engines behind them, have plans to release a free-to-use version of CryENGINE 3, the software's latest iteration. Quoting: "Unreal vendor Epic Games and Unity have both seen their user-bases mushroom overnight since launching versions of their own engines that, while tied to different royalty rates, are completely free to download and operate. Now the CryEngine 3 group has revealed it wants to tap into this thriving market. The firm's CEO Cevat Yerli told Develop that Crytek already gives away a CryEngine 2 editor to the mod community, but explained that Crytek's expansion strategy stretches beyond. 'We have a very vivid community of users and modders and content creators, and usually that's a great way of unlocking the engine,' he said. ... 'So far that's what we've been offering for free, and it's easy entry into the production environment. [But] we do want to make a standalone free platform that people can run independent of CryEngine that will also be up to speed with the latest engine.'"pa href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fsto ry%2F10%2F04%2F13%2F0647234%2FCrytek-Plans-Free-Version-of-CryENGINE-3" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"/a a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Crytek+Plans+Free+Version+of+CryENGINE +3%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FbWQdlK" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"/a/ppa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/10/04/13/0647234/Crytek-Plans-Free-Version-of-CryENGINE-3?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/a58O_m33WfD7r6U-KAj2DsOdtRo/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/a58O_m33WfD7r6U-KAj2DsOdtRo/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/a58O_m33WfD7r6U-KAj2DsOdtRo/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/a58O_m33WfD7r6U-KAj2DsOdtRo/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotDevelopers/~4/gbQAvy5n6hg" height="1" width="1"/
