That can’t be the reason to buy a company that is worth 20+ billion dollars. Gaming industry is bigger than movie industry and games are raking in huge ammounts of money. Shooting in unreal movio studio is nice thing to have but not really game changing, you could probably build a blender pipeline for it for a several million dollars.

I didn’t claim that gaming plays no part in that. My personal opinion is just that it’s mainly (but not solely) an investment into lucrative industry applications of UE. See also @[email protected] who noted the use in medical.
While I don’t doubt the intention to buy Epic, I doubt the main interest is because of gaming. Unreal Engine is making massive inroads into film production, see https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/blog/forging-new-paths-for-filmmakers-on-the-mandalorian
It’s also being used in medical fields. My dentist has a scanning camera tool that creates a 3d textured model and uses Unreal for rendering.
