Is game dev really so bad?

Yeah, a friend of mine dodged a bullet. He decided 1-2 years ago to use Unreal for his new game because Unity wasn't as easy to use as Unreal when it came to networking code.

Snippet from our conversation:

me:
> are you using UDP? I think that's common when it comes to p2p games

him:
> dude, I have no idea lmao

me:
> okay, crazy, I didn't know it's _that_ easy to work with lol

him:
> seriously, it's literally just calling a function that creates a host session with a parameter
> done
> everything else is handled by the engine
> there are trade-offs but it works for us

me:
> crazy

him:
> i think that's a key point if you use unreal for indie games. unity was a lot less helpful when it came to networking
