Leadwerks is a game engine developed by Leadwerks Software. The engine is sold through the company's store under a $99.99 perpetual license or a $5.99 per month subscription.[1] Its successor, Ultra Engine, is distributed on Steam and is in early access.[2]
Consumer impact summary
Products in the Leadwerks and Ultra Engine line are sold under perpetual licenses but require an online third-party account, so a perpetual purchase remains dependent on the availability of Leadwerks' account and authentication services.[3] Users have reported authentication failures when logging in with existing accounts.[3] Ultra Engine also loads Leadwerks project files natively, which Leadwerks Software presents as easing the transition for existing customers.[4]
