Big developers betting on third-party engines for triple-A games

The paper, released this morning, primarily consists of arguments by Unity on why engines like theirs are beneficial to developers. But the interesting bits are the stories that the report tells about a wide variety of previously pure-custom programming clients — which include Square Enix, Blizzard, and Ubisoft.
