tl;dr: Lore is an open-source version control system maintained by Epic Games, built for large-scale projects that mix code with hefty binary assets, such as games and entertainment productions. It targets both developers and artists, aiming to scale across massive datasets and team sizes.
HN Discussion:
  • Lore is a Perforce competitor for game dev, not a Git replacement for general code
  • Perforce is the aging incumbent that genuinely needs a challenger like this
  • Lore isn't really new, just a rebrand of Unreal Revision Control being open sourced
  • Many mature data versioning alternatives already exist, questioning the need for another
  • Claims of being fully open source are undermined by binary-only desktop client
