Epic has second place, copy cat syndrome (quake vs unreal, id tech vs unreal engine, steam vs epic store)

If it wasn't for fortnite they'd be gone

How is Id Tech vs Unreal second place? Unreal became a nearly de-facto standard for triple A games, who ever used Id Tech outside of Id?

At least a handful of companies, including, incidentally, Valve: the Half-Life engine was a heavily modified version of the Quake engine.
