Technically correct, but Piper is API-compatible with Perforce, so while there's presumably no license fee it's still strongly there in spirit.

It's hardly the same thing at this point. For instance you could say Nginx is API-compatible with Apache, and yes that is correct (Maybe? Let's not split hairs here). But to go as far as saying Apache is state of the art and link to Apache's homepage (like throw2ih020 did) is just like.... no.

I think you think I'm trying to correct/one-up reactordev. I'm not. I agree with him. He's pointing out throw2ih020 is being ridiculous, and I'm pointing out that it's even more ridiculous because it's less than 3.

    Is Google a big 3 media/entertainment studio?

    While I agree with you, not at Google anymore, I do not consider them the top 3 engine providers that I am referring to in my post. No no, Unreal/Unity/Red/EA/SC it’s all perforce.
