Unity invested a lot in the game engine battle. They loose it and now they need to get cash back.
Doing the dickest move possible reveal they totally abandoned any long term plan.
Let's not keep our expectation for a brighter future too high. UE is now in a dominant position and also have a lot of cash to get back. It will surely be smoother, but still, the time of affordable AAA game engine will slow down.
Friendly reminder that FZ is a very technical game where skills can go higher than most battle royal games where luck have a lot of impact. I also suspect Nintendo didn't add tier system to dispatch players based on their level.
Testing goes stabler and stabler with time. Then testing move to release and the previous untesting (sid) move to testing. It's a that moment that you can have surprise. This is the moment where I often wait one month or two, apply the updates and check my os is working as before, meaning running my day to day applications and game and see if things work. The only problem I had once was shader cache. I removed few things in .cache and I was good.
I don't use Sid, but testing, it's working almost flawlessly. Each release (once every 2 years, I guess), I take few hours to check everything work; remove shader cache, etc.
My setup, right now (dirty, for authenticity) :

I play a lot, we just played Grounded with friend yesterday.
When we will be next to death's door and Earth will we burn, we will have FZeroGX 99.
…but there will not be enough human being left to fill a race.
Can’t wait!
