To say it's been a bad week for Unity is the understatement of 2023. First they announced a terrible new Pricing scheme, then their customers revolted, as the week goes on though, it gets worse and worse for Unity, from threats from an employee shutting down their offices, to more studios threatening to leave, to scummy secret changes to their terms of service and back door deals with clients to get around the Unity Runtime Fee in an attempt to bury a competitor.

If the studios don't switch to Godot and contribute back, they'll be setting themselves up for another Unity a few years down the line.

If we don’t get together and destroy capitalism itself, we WILL get another Unity every few years.

The easier path is opensource. You can use it today, no need to wish the fall capitalism and do nothing until then

I'm also interested in checking out Stride tomorrow. Hopefully I can find a good alternative to Mirror for multiplayer networking and the FinalIk package I had in Unity.

I'm curious why they chose C#. Maybe to be a Unity alternative without requiring to invest in a new language?

[-] ExtraMedicated@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I don't know, but I like C#. It's got a lot of features that I like such as extension methods and custom attributes. And I feel comfortable with it.

Godot has C# as an option.
