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.

Will Garry Newman decide to reskill his devs to use Godot? Will anybody with enough power decide to do so? Imagine if game studios big and small decided "we don't want to have to deal with this ever again, we're making a new or investing in an existing opensource game engine".

I wish people would see the light, but will they?

Ehhh, I doubt it. His team is currently working on Source 2 for their game S&Box. I would expect he's pretty close with Valve so he might just use Source 2 for the foreseeable future.

Why did they use Unity instead of Source 2 for Rust?

[–] wokeraccoon@pawb.social 4 points 1 year ago

My guess is Source 2 just not being ready until recently. They originally started work with UE4 but made some of their work engine agnostic so they could move to Source 2 when they were able to.
