I’ve enjoyed using Unity for the last 6 years but this is a deal breaker. It’s just wrong and makes one wonder what other policies they’re considering.

After taking some time to mourn I plan on looking into Godot. I expect to take a big productivity hit but at least I won’t be continuing to invest my time into working on a platform that is so anti-dev.

What's super crappy about this is all the plugins, I've invested mega money in c# Unity specific asset store assets and now switching platforms is extra painful, vendor lock-in and all that. Foolish me.
I'm looking into chatgpt to convert my libraries to godot.
Is that working? I'd pay for an automated tool to help convert my unity stuff into Godot right now.
It's not automated, but I'm able to make surprisingly progress while not knowing much about godot.

You'll need to do some prompt engineering and must have chatgpt4 to get good results.

It's impossible to have such a tool. Not even close. If there is that would be the biggest innovation in the history of computer science (yeah, seriously).
