Yep, and you get EVERYTHING. Including the engine source code.
Not Under A Free License Though!

Was the UDK not free at one point? I know you never used to get the source code but it was still free right?
Thats Actually Very Coold

Unity are gonna be looking at their current $75/mo subscription plan and quietly going "welp".

Just earlier today at gym, I was thinking of potential new entries for Kinn's lexicon of pants synonyms.
And yes, this is a big kick up Unity's arse. (And if what scar3crow has been saying about them is true, then it's well deserved.)

It wasn't the price or amount of source that you got as a dev that generally made indies choose Unity over UDK, it was more that it was simpler to create a game in Unity with less staff. UDK had all the bells and whistles if you knew how to use them and had the team to act on them... but that doesn't describe most indie devs.
I haven't sat down to watch/read anything on UE4 creation, but I suspect it may still have some of that feeling (even if they make more of it accessible). That's likely fine as I think it's good to have differing engines which fit different goals and teams.
On an aside... this might be my kick in the ass to finally upgrade my system though... I barely run UDK on my laptop... should upgrade if I want to check out UE4.
