  • Sounds like you feel positively about Unity and get defensive when it’s attacked.

    Don’t get me wrong, Unity is a solid engine. I used to use it and enjoyed the experience but resent the company and their board who are still sitting pretty. Still not held to account. If it was open source, I’d probably use it, but I simply cannot trust the company to not enshittify again in the future. When they pushed these changes through, they choose to ignore their users. I could not put myself in the situation where I’d be open to getting screwed by them again. Good luck if you are fine with that risk, but you probably should understand those that put months of work into Unity and had it taken from them (myself, fortunately it was only 4 months). I’m pretty angry about it. I resent people stealing 4 months of my life.





  • You don’t, you can compile from source.

    Unreal is a top class engine. Yes, it’s proprietary and you always have to be cautious, but right now, it’s an engine that delivers top features that can build great games and isn’t run by Unity. If you win big, you need to pay, but you know that going into it.

    Godot is great and improving all the time but it needs maturity.

    It was a head vs heart decision and the head won this time.



  • Most don’t switch as they have in house skills that would cost to retrain. The real kicker is the big studios of the future that started their projects on Godot. Those Godot games that succeed (like Cassette Beasts or Brotato) may fund the big studios of the future, and you know their leads will be Godot specialists looking for Godot devs.

    Other big studios may trial Godot, but when the seed is planted, the trees take 2 to 5 years to mature.

    Why would I sign up to a community I don’t agree with? I’m just not that much of a snowflake and think freedom of speech is important.

    Seeing views other than your own makes you more confident in your own views and your ability to challenge them. Echo chambers existing in other social media isn’t good. I moved away from reddit and don’t want Lemmy to replicate the worst of it.

    Why should everyone sign up the multiple accounts because your want to impose your views on others?

    Well if you like .world because they defederated. Great. It gives people an actual choice. You have your instance with your desired federation policy. I have mine. Don’t take my freedoms away. Why do you have skin in the game here? I think I’ve seen hexbear content twice since I started on Lemmy during the API blackout.
