Marco Alka Really nice answer! Big games like CR tend to use cloud providers like AWS for their gaming backend. If you can manage to create your backend logic in managed services and serverless functions, it can become quite easy to scale your game up to millions of players. If you want to create something similar with FOSS tools, it might be interesting to have a look at Docker, Kubernetes and OpenFaaS. As Kubernetes is available in AWS and the Google Cloud, it should be rather easy to have a small local setup for development and then launch it in the cloud for more resources (even tough scaling will be more tedious with Kubernetes than with completely managed and serverless services)

Oh nice, I never heard of Amethyst before! And I totally agree. The big advantage of Godot is the fact that you don't really have to worry about licensing that much. No matter if you decide to turn the game into a commercial product. Seeing that there are more FOSS engines coming is really cool.

Hi, I'm Sven, I am a german developer who is currently getting more and more involved into AWS and DevOps. At the same time Godot kinda hooked me and got me interested in game development again, but that is just for fun right now. But let's see how that evolves. Other interests of mine are gaming, drawing, pixel art, tabletop games, photography and cooking. Yeah, that sums it up quite well. What am I doing here? I'm looking for a proper platform to post stuff about projects of mine and get more information for things I'm interested in. Let's see how well that works in Hashnode :)
