  • They did too much damage already. They’ve lost all developer trust, and deserve to crash and burn for this

  • Honestly at this point just the peace of mind of working in a FOSS engine and not under a corporation that can do this whenever is enough to motivate me to learn godot. I've got some prototypes I can port into that engine to learn on, it might even be some good motivation to start integrating them into a single project.

  • This price change would be not for gaming industry gains, but for the capitalist's private appetite. Unity engine would be added unneccesary features for it.
