    Founder and CEO of Crytek, Jevat Earley:
    CryEngine V shows our desire not only to give developers advanced technologies, but also to make them as accessible as possible. The appearance of the CRYENGINE Marketplace, a new UI, support channels. All this lowers the threshold of entry for working with a new product, and the comfortable cost of the engine, each determines individually. The center of our new “Pay what u want” model is the developers themselves and we hope that this approach will only lead to closer and more productive collaboration within the community.

    Also at the moment, a humblebundle.com resource is hosting an action - Humble CryEngine Bundle , where developers can get free or purchase various game assets for CryEngine.
