tl;dr: Lore is an open-source version control system maintained by Epic Games, built to scale across massive datasets and large teams. It targets projects that mix code with large binary assets—such as games and entertainment—and is designed to serve both developers and artists.
HN Discussion:
  • Clarifies Lore competes with Perforce for gamedev, not Git for general software
  • Perforce is the entrenched but dated standard and badly needs a challenger like Lore
  • Lore isn't actually new, just newly open-sourced after use in UEFN
  • Skeptical that another data versioning system is needed when mature alternatives exist
  • Criticizes the 'open source' claim since the desktop client is binary-only
