    I'm now starting my game dev journey! I have always wanted to pursue this and have decided to stop putting it off until tomorrow today. After seeing the unity situation unfold, I'm glad I favored this engine to begin with, and happy that I can learn alongside others during the exodus. I look forward to contributing to the hobby I enjoyed since childhood, and making something people will enjoy!
    I hope everyone converting will be sucessful, and I look forward to maybe working alongside eachother one day. Happy learning everyone!

    @smartpoly I just wanted to thank you for making these tutorials. I am very new and have tried learning prior when Unreal5 originally came out. I have since come back and started to try and develop my understanding to the software. I think you do an excellent job of going into the general functions and elaborating on the different aspects of this software without getting off track. I will probably be using your tutorial from this point on and purchasing your services. I look forward to learning with you and thank you very much for doing such a good job as I have been struggling with the overwhelming features that this powerful engine can do.
    Sincerely, Nathanael

I feel like with this, you can build anything on your own and experiment with the enegine rather than just build a game by copy/pasting. Thanks a lot, man
