It isn't absolutely necessary or anything like that. It wouldn't make that impact in the long run but i understand that you'll also make your current partners unhappy. For the sake of development and monopoly, I think you can make unreal engine use widely available or else , new competitors will arrive . For the current partners , you can help them develop some things like different programming languages or text editors or even their existing operating system. For the pixar , as long as you hold control over unreal engine, I feel like you'll always hold significant advantages over others.
As you said, it has its pros and cons, but the most advisable thing would be to put it, but of course, not like Pixar and Microsoft, you could simply get a more expensive and limited access to the original Unreal Engine, that way you would not only earn more money, but quickly. Due to the reports they will give you about the Unreal Engine process, you will be able to eliminate and ensure any errors, both basic and complicated, depending on how much they are willing to pay for better access, but as I said, no better than Pixar and Microsoft. . and of course, difficult to decipher for possible copies. ¿Do you like my idea?
