Improbable and Epic Games join forces to create a $25 million fund that helps developers transition to more open engines after Unity revokes Improbable's license. This financial support pool draws from Unreal Dev Grants, Improbable developer assistance funds, and Epic Games store funding to rescue projects that suddenly find themselves in limbo due to the unexpected engine incompatibilities.

Unity claims it gives Improbable ample notice regarding Terms of Service violations, but the sudden license termination cuts the cloud gaming startup off from a massive segment of indie developers. Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney publicly criticizes Unity's actions, emphasizing that developers invest years of their lives into their projects and suffer greatly when platform providers suddenly change the rules and confiscate those investments.

The partnership between Epic and Improbable centers on shared values and a commitment to supporting mutual customers without surprises. By offering this transition fund, the two companies present a unified front against restrictive platform policies and provide a clear alternative path for developers seeking a more stable, open ecosystem for their creative work.
