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.

      AWS is different as it’s a product marketed and sold as a product.

      This company was using Twitters api in a novel way that want subject to an agreement, just Twitter’s whims to allow it to continue.

        I worked for a company that used Google application engine for all of their cloud tools and services. Then one day Google flipped a new billing process and the entire thing became more expensive than self hosting. Sure gae would let us scale to support insane levels but the product was never going to need that scale.

      Any aws pipeline I build I write as agnostically as possible, and usually write basic ideas and selections from another platform into my docs and proposals.

      It’s happened twice in my career that a shop had totally jumped provider, which isn’t a lot but is enough to keep one eye open
