Unity's Runtime Fee debacle cost it the trust of several indie developers, and led to Slay the Spire 2 being made in Godot.

It's got all of the functionality you need but nothing in UE is "boilerplate" for 2D, meaning they don't have the functions built for you to use out of the box. Godot has all the boilerplate for a complete novice to use after a few tutorials videos. Haven't used Unity for maybe a decade so idk about them.

Unity's modus operandi is to develop a feature halfway and then deprecate it and replace it with something that's not yet released. Such a mess of a product.

They also spend valuable resources hounding developers into paying them, citing made up sales estimates.

Sounds like Microsoft should buy them.
