Very nice of them to teach new recruits how to use UE, to see if they could bring any new ideas and insight into the Dragon engine
Dragon engine seems really good in my experience. The last few years have been filled with terrible performance unreal engine games, but Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth looks good (imo) and will run on weaker hardware than its 2020 predecessor.
Penny drop moment of āoh right we have to look at the competing engines to see our own weaknessā? Frankly it should be obvious.
āIf you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.ā
For me it raises really a odd question about their culture too, since only after inshinās remaster did they add a policy to review developer tools and technology, in a development company.
Iām trying to not read into it any more than that but I canāt help but imagine there were board meetings beforehand going āguys our team want to try using unrealā and some exec going āno itās banned we only use our own propriety code or else weāll lose our brand and be washed out! All other engines are banned!ā.
Management often has very, very little clue what the development team does or the tools they use. Our IT department management tried to block access to Github and I had to explain why that would be a bad ideaā¢, you know, since all of our code lives thereā¦
Yep though Iām a sysadmin and can feel for that, these consolidated platforms are being used as a straight āyou trust this, when I infect you, Iāll use payloads Iāll temporarily host in github because you adjust already block overseas by default expect a bunch of whitelist trusted domains.ā.
Itās technically easy to allow a subdomain, but itās really hard to unblock just a path.
So yeah, what generally happens is the SOC team complains that the new threat is here, and either vendors (had this with fortinet) move the risk rating of github from a 3.5 to a 6 out of 10, I had put the threshold at a default 5, and now itās being blocked. I wonder why it wasnāt blocked before, well it wasnāt as risky last week as it is now.
Anyway just thought Iād share the IT sysadmin POV.
More to point, using security as an example, we use SentinelOne and azure sentinel. Iāve had a āI want to compare crowdstrike and huntress labsā because Iāve seen really good things with those xdr seim tools. But I got shot down. Why? We canāt deviate our standards. Well, how will we know if the competition is better? Is our choice good? Who knows.
I still donāt know. I sleep easy knowing itās not my burden though. Itās their fault if they get compromised on an attack that the other vendor would stop.
