They just won the MSUC contest. I'm not saying that publishers will stand in line waiting for them, but I doubt they would haven any problems getting one. I haven't played the MOD myself, but they probably know what they're doing. Seeing that they can win such a contest with a MOD, guess what they could do with an Unreal engine. They can do whatever they like with it, and they've even got money to hire professionals. Beats me if they'll get there, but chances are that they will.
