Unity Software to lay off 1,800 employees, or 25% of staff
(www.cnbc.com)
Welcome to the game development community! This is a place to talk about and post anything related to the field of game development.
TBF godot is open source and has over 2300 contributors on github. Still less than unity and most of those don't get paid for their work, but saying that there are only 10 developers is not true and not fair to all of the people contributing in their free time
Not all 2300 worked full time on godot tho. Most contributors either want to add a feature and leave, or bugfix and then leave. But those 7700 unity employees sounds like full time or at least part timer to me.
The 7700 wouldn't all be in roles that directly contribute to the codebase, either.
Exactly. And the unity engine is not the only product that unity makes. They have a full cloud platform with DevOps tools, Game Services like Matchmaking, Leaderboards, Ads, etc. and many more things.
Nonetheless, what the Godot Team + Community is creating as a FOSS product is absolutely amazing and i would say it's well on its way to becoming the Blender of game engines
