They changed their payment model several times and now ([[2023-09-12]]) they operate on the same system as Unreal Engine. They pulled a lot of features slated for CryEngine 5.7 instead saying that they would be included with CryEngine 6 - which has not been officially announced or released yet as far as I can tell.
