There was a comment on Reddit regarding the neutrality/impartiality of the engine list. If that person happens to read the rest of this thread then my answer to that is this:
This list, as the title says is a resource. No one way, service, or tool is the right one for everyone. Everyone's experience is also different and to limit the list to those that I (or anyone else) would only use would defeat the whole purpose of the list. If you really like a certain software, tool, or service - then by all means, feel free to recommend what you like here or elsewhere. In the meantime, I'll leave it to each individual to decide for themselves what to use or not use.
xelanoimis over at the IndieGamer Dev Forum has requested that I split the engines per generic or specialized use. I may do this when the list becomes longer (i.e. after I look through the list of game engines he linked to O_O). For now, everything will remain in alphabetical order. As always, any suggestions, recommendations and so on will be very much appreciated.
