Do AAA studios have a parent engine that is constantly under development, or is it always a fork of the parent engine for each project?
Some studios have an in-house engine they continue to develop. Whenever a game is set to launch using that engine, there's an established cutoff date after which they will no longer take new engine updates from the mothership unless those updates are crucial bug fixes, and even then the engineering teams will collaborate to bring over only the absolutely necessary changes. This is because game stability is the highest priority as we approach release. As the cert submission and launch date approach, all changes are disallowed by default unless vetted by the engineering team for impact and potential instability. This includes engine changes.
Imagine a major engine change in an engine with ongoing development like Call of Duty that completely changes how AI do their pathfinding - the new methods are much more efficient than before, but require new design principles and have a bunch of additional edge cases that need ironing out. Now imagine that this engine change gets pushed to this year's COD in beta a month before launch. QA suddenly logs a ton of AI pathfinding bugs in every level that has AI in it because of this engine-level change. The COD team could go back to the levels to fix all of the AI pathfinding issues, but that would be months of development and iteration time that they don't have because the game has to ship. The changes are simply too unstable to allow in to a game that close to release, so the team can't accept them.

The Art of Marathon by Eric Pfeiffer
“His shell is stained in my blood as he slumps down and lays his head on my chest for a moment, exhausted, with a proud smile on his face. All I can think about is how beautiful he looks. How much I want to stay in this moment with him close to me like this.”

I must be blind or smth because I don't remember you being a system or a girl and we've been moots for like five years at least now
we go with the term system; because what the fuck do you describe our bullshit.
Second, I am a girl, you're a weird alaskan person. Main kid's a boy.
