@gamingonlinux I have always thought Godot had good potential , and with Godot 4 that potential has only increased. Very passionate and helpful community. I guess this change might make Godot's (and other engines') community grow. Although learning a new engine might be a deal breaker for some companies, it might not be so for independent game developers or small studios. @gamingonlinux I had been wanting to give Unity a try after I wrap up my current side projects but now I think I'd be better off checking out other engines. @gamingonlinux the end is killing it. We can't tell you how we evaluate the number of installs, it's proprietary! Trust us! Oracle licensing level shit. @gamingonlinux Just checked their forum post and they seem to have updated the answer to the question about reinstalls on https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-plan-pricing-and-packaging-updates.1482750/ barely 30 mins ago |
@gamingonlinux a couple of games i am quite fond of were built with unity.
But my every impression of the game engine is that its a PoS, that is very accessible to indies. Which is a shame.
