This is developers own fault for licensing a platform that can be audited and taken away at a moments notice. It's better to support software that doesn't require a license. Open Source is going to be the future. Glad these corps are shooting themselves in the foot.

I think it would be more accurate to say Open Source was the past. The future is absolutely anyone's guess.

#15Unity feels like such a bottomless pit of bad management decisions, I truly don't know why anyone still uses it today. I switched 2 years ago, when they came up with their insane pricing models. Their tech stack had already accumulated its own problems, but I never had a good enough reason to re-learn everything until then. Even though they pedalled back eventually, I never returned because the alternatives are actua…
What are actually good alternatives?

Honestly still a question worth investigating. I also dropped Unity for my latest project, spent a year with Godot and then realized.. it's just not quite there.
