Looking at the situation with #Unity just boggles my mind. Like it’s already an engine used by a ton of indie games, to the point those are basically it’s main audience now.
So it then pulls an anti #gamedev move like this that could bankrupt many of its most avid users and advocates? Are they absolutely insane?
@CM30 the outcome will be either a walk back from Unity or the death of Unity as a popular game engine. Or in fact, even both! There's a chance that even after a walk back devs will have lost enough confidence in Unity not to touch it again.
Longer term the outcome might also be a strong open source alternative to Unity. I'm not a game dev and I'm not super familiar with different alternatives, but everyone falling behind something like Godot Engine might be a sensible outcome.
@gpowerf that’s a good point. Even if these changes are rolled back, I doubt many devs will trust Unity any longer.
And yeah I can definitely see something like Godot getting a lot more attention/usage out of this too.
