Also, wondering if there any competitive open source game engines to aide in learning.
Ever since unbuntu ruined their desktop with the same brand name, I flinch a little everytime I hear the word
By the time Unity for Ubuntu reaches version 4, it will include the following features: -the ability to launch a command line will be gone, because the command line could allow accidental damage to your system -it will not be possible to minimize or maximize windows (if you can still call what they have turned it into "windows"), those buttons will instead have been replaced by a shopping basket, and a helper assista…

You don't seem to understand that Android already is first. This is a $100 Android box with an 'app store of its very own!' and not much beyond that. We've already got Android and it's not difficult to make a similar enclosure. We've already got better hardware! The cost of porting from Ouya to other Android consoles in general is almost assuredly trivial to possibly zero depending how lazy they are about their softw…
No, it's not a $100 Android box - it's a 100$ Android console. And I don't know any other Android system specifically designed for that so far. You don't keep your mobile phone or tablet plugged in to your TV and neither do you plug in a game controller into either of them usually. Also generally tablets do not mainly care about improving performance specifically for games, which mean given the choice of faster 3D or…
Looks like fun. I've heard game development (for an employer) is quite the sweatshop though. What are the employment prospects and expected salary for someone proficient in this software? Also, wondering if there any competitive open source game engines to aide in learning.
Right now, though, our only programming openings are for Java server engineers. Sorry.
I do recommend learning Unity though, if that's what you're interested in. As Unity improves, its easy cross-platform deployment becomes more and more attractive to larger companies.
Anyone knows how much the upgrade costs? Can't find it without login which I don't posses at the moment.
$750 for pro license and $125 each for iOS / Android
Edit: Note that it is possible to upgrade just your Unity 4 Pro license without upgrading the individual platforms. For instance, I have Pro iPhone/Android licenses, but currently working on a PC/Mac game, so I upgraded my Unity 4 Pro license and left the platforms for a later upgrade.
Lots of impressive headline features. DirectX 11, detailed animation system, Linux support. The trouble is, these come at the expense of the basics. Not so impressive is that the only supported method for sharing code between projects is copy and paste . The engine is six years old. I'm not kidding. Unfortunately, frustrations like that are common. I adopted Unity expecting to be there for the next few years at least…
Our teams share code by not coding in Unity projects. All the assemblies are added as plugins with a build script. The games have very little code actually accessible from within Unity. You lose the nice edit and continue, but for a big project with a lot of assets the Unity IDE explodes under pressure anyway.

Yes, this is the only way the handle it. Git subrepos make this a hassle though, in our experience. It's the one thing that SVN would do much better.
Have you tried git subtrees? They are so much nicer than git submodules in many ways. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3926683
