picking the right game engine is actually not that complicated.
and now that you know what game engine to choose, I made a video explaining week by week how to build a game AND make money. you can find it here: youtu.be/dXy8_T4Z5Kc?si=r2cK11CvTe2qJYJr

forgot to mention: if you're making a mobile game, unity has the most built in features. unreal does support mobile export, but it's like using a drill to staple a paper.

correction in final graph:
-phaser io is open source
-unreal is kinda open source because you can download the source code and change it as you fit
-cocos has 2 engines (2dx c++/lua) and creator (typescript), both open source except for creator's editor
