Another good lesson about why we should trust only FOSS ecosystems

    Really though, what were they thinking. Why would anyone risk staying with unity after all their bad decisions, especially when they clearly have no intention to stop being dumb.

      I went to a game dev meetup in Seoul last year. Everyone was using Unity.

      I went again last month. Half the people were using Godot.


      For a bit more context, I used to work in the gaming industry. We used Unity because it was great for making money - drop in ads and tracking, you’re good to go. The Godot ecosystem isn’t as mature for that yet. However, even we were considering switching to Godot. It wasn’t worth switching for a number of reasons (besides the above mentioned ones, Godot is also “laggier” and we have some heavier games), but had we started shop yesterday, it’s safe to say we would have used Godot too.

      Unity just laid off 25% of their workforce. That is not a small number. Their days are numbered.
