Wait, is Unity allowed to just change its fee structure like that? | Confusing, contradictory terms of service clauses leave potential opening for lawsuits.::Confusing, contradictory terms of service clauses leave potential opening for lawsuits.

    Thank you! We’re working hard to bring it to fruition.

    You actually bring up a really interesting point. Back in the day we would have to hack the unity editor in a way that unlocks the dark mode because they had that feature behind the unity pro paywall…(I know…)

    I do wonder now if someone will come up with a similar hack to bypass or manipulate the identifier used for the runtime fee. Hopefully Unity will come to their senses like they did with offering free dark mode to all users after their big IPO

      Maybe somebody will come up with a Unity-to-Godot converter that will handle most of the legwork.

          Thanks for the link! While on the surface that looks to be a 1:1 port, the sad reality is making games requires loads of tooling behind the scenes that Godot just doesn’t have fleshed out yet. Things like Unity’s Shader Graph, Visual Effects Graph, and the new 1.0 release of Unity DOTS are a few good examples. As much as I really want to make the switch, the sad reality is I wouldn’t be able to make as good of a 3D game on that platform.

            Of course, I totally understand that, godot is still relatively new, and although it has advanced a lot recently it is nowhere near the ecosystem that unity offers.

      Is this what you are looking for? A friend of mine sent me this screenshot, unfortunately I don’t have the source for it.
