I'm a game rendering engineer that uses Unreal (and used Renderware) so I know a little about this subject.

If Renderware hadn't been brought by EA (and hence controlled by your competitor), the rest of the industry would probably have kept using Renderware as it was the best option and development would have continued. It would have been built on to deliver next gen experiences.

It mirrors pretty much perfectly what is wrong with the ARM Nvidia deal.

Nokia yes wasn't doing well in the smart phone sector but was doing excellently in the feature phone sector. Hence why HMD Global is now doing very well selling those handsets.
