This is developers own fault for licensing a platform that can be audited and taken away at a moments notice. It's better to support software that doesn't require a license. Open Source is going to be the future. Glad these corps are shooting themselves in the foot.

This is the fucking developer equivalent of "fusion energy is a decade away"

Its more like "TCP might be here to stay" since Open Source basically ate most of the software world already and has definitely cemented itself as essential infrastructure in our world.

Except anyone can use Godot right now.

The "future" part is about market uptake, resource availability, etc.

I think it would be more accurate to say Open Source was the past. The future is absolutely anyone's guess.

It is bad form to engage in victim blaming. While yes, Unity has been pretty bad for a while, lots of times there is already a lot of development work sunk into existing programs. It would oftentimes sink the business switching engines rather than finishing up the existing project.
