Roughly 1,800 people are being put out of work, but hey, at least the share price is going up.

    I will not buy any games made in Unity after September 2023. I’m giving the devs who had projects going before then a grace period, but if you’re dumb enough to use Unity for a new game after the shit they pulled you’re too dumb to have my money.

      I suggest you also pay attention to when a game’s development was begun as it’s no simple task to switch engines mid development. Still, your wallet, your call.

        Remember when I said “I’m giving the devs who had projects going before then a grace period?” or "if you’re dumb enough to use Unity for a new game AFTER THE SHIT THEY PULLED.

        Developers or studios that have been working on a game prior to the shitfest are grandfathered in, but I’ll not have anything to do with projects that began after the whole price tier shenanigans.

      They made a decision that is bad for game developers and your response is to punish … game developers?

        Yep. I don’t want to fund Unity even second-hand at this point. Using Unity is a business decision, and if that’s the kind of business decision you make, we’re not doing business.

        Plus, I’ve done my own game dev in the Godot engine long before Unity shit the dishwasher.
