Take some time to consider the gross absurdity of this paragraph:

Let's take it line by line:

But the toughest, most intractable problems in game design happen at the engine development stage. The prolems faced, and solved, by the Unreal Engine 4 team on any given day are bigger and harder than the problems solved by every "indie" fuckhead ever put together. That's why developing the Unreal Engine 4 took years, millions, and hundreds of highly skilled professionals at the top of their game, whereas developing a laughable abortion like any of your "games" takes a single talentless incompetent fuckhead like you.

We know. You only care to appropriate the work of people who have done so while failing to acknowledge this and even denigrating and deprecating the value of their hard work.

... whose possibilities have already been delineated AT THE ENGINE STAGE. OTHERWISE WE'D STILL BE MAKING GAMES ON THE
PONG ENGINE, FUCKHEAD!

All of which, as stated above, depend on the POWER of the engine you are using. And guess what: you are using the WEAKEST, SHITTIEST engine available on the market today. And you are failing at fully exploiting EVEN THAT.
In short, FAILURE, FAILURE, FAILURE, and again FAILURE. And finally some posing to convince yourself and everyone else that you are not failing.
Welcome to your life.
