Do you think it's with trying to revive Blender Game Engine? Edit: just learned there's a fork https://upbge.org/
Now as an adult, I can see why they removed it. It didn't make sense to put resources into it.
I'm really happy about the UPBGE project. It doesn't compare to the capabilities of Godot, but that's okay. It just makes me happy that someone else cared about it enough to pour time into it.
