I’m not surprised. Good job at boycotting Unity, devs. I love competition.

So in other words: it took _one entire year_ for Unity to decide shooting itself in the foot with a 12-guage probably isn’t going end well for them.

Damage has been already done. Too late.

They’re only cancelling it until enough time has passed and they think they can get away with it again

Maybe they thought they could ride out the discontent, but Godot has just gone from strength to strength this year and they must be worried.

I’m only just now dipping my toe in game dev and I’ve already written off Unity as not a viable option. No amount of backtracking will undo that viewpoint unfortunately.

Thanks to all devs who switched, but I’m especially thankful to MegaCrit for being so transparently disappointed in Unity and their vocal transition to (I think) Godot with Slay the Spire 2.

Too little too late.
Developers have been scared away from Unity and they do not offer anything other tools cannot match or exceed. Company is doomed to failure….

Don’t think this sub knows how big Unity is not only in gaming, but in other areas like VR/AR.
Godot isn’t scaring them, even though it’s a good alternative.

bury unity. dont ever use it again. they did it once they will do it again soon.

I’m sure they took a look at games in active development and saw a huge drop off of games in the pipeline and decided it was finally time to reverse coarse. Well this is all too little too late and the devs that they pissed off decided already to switch to other engines like godot a year ago. I’m sure we’ll ready in 18-24 months that they’re shutting down.

Hopefully unity is feeling the pain of their shitty decisions. Fuck em
TheResidentEvil
they are not doing this to be nice so it’s definitely hurting them. good

Too late

And then how long before they reverse that? It takes a long time to build trust and an instant to lose it.

Yeah nah, when I see a dog that bites I’m staying well clear of it.
Unity bit the hands that was feeding it, now those hands left and others took note to stay away.

Godot must’ve scared them
Almost 1 year later, right?
