They should honestly just move their engine anyway. Unity has played their hand, and showed they are willing to make changes to their pricing retroactively.

Get fucked, you could have use godot to develop your game or any other free engine

Godot has just recently began to gain steam. I don't think it was a viable option when StS was in development.

Unfortunately, it still isn't for console development.

Yeah, fuck console sales, amiright?

@Voyajer is either a jackass or doesn't understand sarcasm.

Buddy you're at -6 for a low effort comment, don't get buttmad at me. Why are you going back and checking your reduces so obsessively?

We have never made a public statement before now. That is how badly you fucked up.

Lmao shots fired. Unity’s C-suite made their own bed… and the bed is made out of anti-personnel mines. I genuinely hope this picks up steam.

Unity showed their hand when they made the announcement. I had never thought to look up who owned them before. Now that I am aware that they’re majority-owned by VC and PE firms, it’s pretty clear to me that this category of monetization-oriented behavior is here to stay, because that’s how VC and PE operate. Unless and until they somehow get a new owner, it’s my sincere opinion that Unity should absolutely not be seriously considered as a game engine for any new game project.
