This is of course not including the yearly Unity subscription, where Unity Pro costs $2,040 per seat (although they may have Enterprise pricing)

Absolutely ridiculous. Many Unity devs are saying they’re switching engines on social media.

    And if everyone invented their own wheel every time they wanted to build a new cart all we’d ever have is various different wheels and very few carts.

      I mean that’s honestly true. There are so many “infant” small selfmade game engines that are just complete shit lol

      Great analogy, but this is a wheel you’re being charged for, after you’ve installed it on your product. Maybe you would have been better suited with your own wheel.

      You’re not picking an existing good wheel solution that you can use forever, you basically took a promise for a free wheel that you’re now being charged for, and you’re sad because the free wheel isn’t free anymore. Well, maybe you should have picked an actually free wheel to begin with.

      Unity is not the only solution to your cart problem. You’re just using it, because it is convenient.

        Unity isn’t free, what are you on about, you pay money for it.

        There really isn’t much point having this conversation if you’re going to operate on flights of fantasy.
