If Epic updates/amends the Unreal Engine EULA in the future, you have the choice whether to accept the updated terms, or continue with the current version with the software you already have. This is in the current EULA, available here: (Section 7.a.)

Unreal Engine | Publishing EULA

Unreal Engine is free to use for learning, and for developing internal projects; it also enables you to distribute many commercial projects without paying any fees to Epic Games.

Ok, here we go. The disruption in the #gameindustry is going to hit gamers down the line, and #gamedev now, of course. Publishers and developers have made cuts in staff in order to reduce costs. I won’t get into the causes…’cause NDA’s. 😉 But the long term effects…

Hearts were forged in iron. Blood was spilled from splinters. The battle raged until the sun was low and mom brought out lemonade.

#Indiedev tip: Playing in Editor in #UE4 is great for iterative testing, but sooner rather than later, you need to start packaging builds for your intended platform. You don't want to wait until you are leading up to ship to start this process. 1/

@JRatompo This is also covered in the EULA (7.a). Support agreements are separate, covered by their own agreement. But the short answer is no, you would not get future versions, but have full source access to your current version to modify as you wish. So you could choose.

Sometimes as a designer, you go down a rabbit hole of scripting and up making things way more complicated then they need to be, and then try and dig yourself out. I have learned over the years that sometimes it's better to just revert your changelist and start fresh and clean.
