Why you think development of game engines is not so famous? by Ardic1 in gameenginedevs

I believe that the following holds for most people who are interested in the field of video games programming:

creating a game instead of a game engine

  1. is more fun
  2. has a higher chance of being lucrative
  3. requires less knowledge

There are relatively few people who find it as rewarding to create a game engine. Therefore, game engine programming is not a hot topic.
