>”Unity is common in small indie studios because, for so many use-cases, it's the only game in town”

I wholeheartedly disagree. There’s more choice than ever. A search on GitHub would show you.

Unity has had one thing going for it. It was easy to get started and it had a ton of learning material. It is NOT the only choice. Off the top of my head there’s:

- Ogre3D

- O3DE

- MonoGame

- GameMaker

- Godot

- Cocos2d

- GDevelop

- Pandas3D

- Reactor

- Stride3D (formerly Xenko)

- Three.js

- Babylon.js

Unity’s editor first approach and their C# “everything’s a behavior” is why so many think it’s the only game in town. It’s not. It never was.
