YG, a young boy at the age of 9, gets sick of playing hack-and-slash computer games against himself. He walks to the newly-opened computer lab in his school, where a couple of kids introduce him to the world of MUDs (Multi User Dungeons), text-based computer games (the internet was not fast enough for anything else). YG logs on to Legends of Excalibur, registers the name Gongor, and plays with 60-100 more people at a time. Together, YG and his new found friends go on numerous adventures, slay monsters and save Camelot time after time.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3691\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3691\" style=\"width: 296px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/02\/loe1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3691\" src=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/02\/loe1-296x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/02\/loe1-296x300.png 296w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/02\/loe1.png 577w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 296px) 100vw, 296px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3691\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yes, it\u2019s still around (3-4 players online at any given time).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3692\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3692\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/02\/loe2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3692\" src=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/02\/loe2-300x130.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/02\/loe2-300x130.png 300w, https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/02\/loe2.png 527w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3692\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Legends Of Excalibur (telnet client; address: lofe.org 8000)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fast forward a couple of years. The internet is now much faster, and game creators begin to understand that people no longer want to play alone. Blizzard launches Diablo and introduces the Battle.Net platform to try to gain recurring revenue and control when and how players play against each other. In parallel, Epic Games, a small game company, creates a very successful game called Unreal. Quickly understanding that games themselves are no longer the source for revenue, Blizzard and Epic choose two distinct paths: While Blizzard stays in the gaming world and creates World of Warcraft, a subscription-based MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game), Epic chooses to use its modular design to disrupt the market and make the <\/span><b>Unreal Game Engine<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the text-based world, anyone could download one of several engines and create their own MUD. In the new age, if one wanted to make their own multi-user graphics game, they had to master the following skills:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Coding<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Physics (to create natural movement)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Design and Art (to create the world)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Creativity (to make an appealing game)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The goal of the Unreal engine is<\/span><b> to make creativity the only barrier<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for creating new games, <\/span><b>by disintermediating<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> the different skillsets, <\/span><b>and capitalizing <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">from the trade of the other skillsets. Unreal (currently at its fourth iteration) combines a <\/span><b>large R&amp;D investment <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to distribute a developer&#8217;s kit that requires a minimal amount of coding (to attract a large user-base) and operate as a platform between design artists and the developer community.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Value Creation<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/02\/platform.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3693\" src=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/02\/platform.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"244\" height=\"224\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let\u2019s assume that YG, now 32 years old, has decided to give up on his HBS education and wanted to create a game.

So if a developer makes a game, but it only grosses $2900 in a quarter, that developer won&#8217;t have to pay Epic a penny. If the game makes $13,000 a quarter, they&#8217;d owe five per cent of the $10K after the first $3K (so $500 in this instance). By using this policy,<\/span><b> Epic only capitalizes on the long-tail of extremely successful games<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and ensures<\/span><b> a vibrant community of independent developers <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(\u201cindie devs\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Royalties from artists<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: When an item is sold on the marketplace, artists Receive 70% of the base price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Competition<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unreal\u2019s main competitor is <\/span><b>Unity<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, the leader with an astounding 47% market share, with Unreal capturing 13% of the market. Unity\u2019s pricing is much more complicated and less intuitive, with four product tiers developers can subscribe to: Personal, Plus, Pro and Enterprise. It seems as if Epic\u2019s attempt to make pricing more transparent and easier to understand is an effort to capture market share from Unity.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3695\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3695\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/02\/mktshare.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3695\" src=\"https:\/\/d3.harvard.edu\/platform-digit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/02\/mktshare.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"760\" height=\"305\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3695\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/unity-unreal-developers-kobayashi-maru-glenn-lusk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, Epic announced a <\/span><b>grant of $5m to developers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in 2016. &#8220;The best part?
