> They didn't really build their own engine, they bought a re-licensable license to CryEngine, rebranded it to Lumberyard, and started their engine work from that. If you start to dig in (source-code is one available source) What actually is clearly the story is they started building a game engine, some higher-up bought a license to CryEngine and told them "Here! Use this!" Then they packaged that up as a module in the Engine they started building initially, and spent the next 5 years slowly deleting bits of CryEngine and replacing it with the engine they wanted to build in the first place. Not that that's much better, but I think it clearly speaks to the politics at play in the environment. edit: To add links to the code: ly framework, clearly core engine systems unrelated to cryengine: https://github.com/aws/lumberyard/tree/6b8dd98ad0e5

But if you are looking for high-profile stuff using Qt, how about : - the Tesla UI (https://twitter.com/qtproject/status/998902009922285568?lang...) - and a lot of the modern in-vehicule infotainment stack actually - LG screens (https://www.qt.io/lg-electronics-built-with-qt) - Allegorithmic Substance stuff (https://blog.kitware.com/from-one-software-to-many-at-allego...) - The Blizzard launcher (https://www.quora.com/What-front-end-and-back-end-technologi...) - Amazon Lumberyard (and its grandfather CryEngine) : https://github.com/aws/lumberyard - Microsoft Onedrive - AMD Radeon panel (https://www.qt.io/amd-built-with-qt) etc etc.. but generally speaking, it is
