rule 1: get user by giving free candy rule 2: let's them build their product, workflow on your tools rule 3: harvest.

Rule 4: get fucked by better and cheaper products (Unreal/Godot)
Rule 5: make an obituary presentation on what went wrong (hint: it's always management)

Rule 6: Unreal does the same thing, everyone switches to Godot ๐Ÿ˜‚

It is management

CEO or whatever used to be head of EA

Unreal engine will probably do the same shit than Unity, Unreal engine might be opensource (not FOSS), I think there's the same clauses about production royalties.

Even if Godot wins, there's a cost to move.

[-] Beliriel@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I think Godot will not win simply because Unreal is so much better for 3D games what most comercial games use. I think Godot will become the indie favourite for 2D. Where it goes from there I'm not sure. Is the revenue sharing not enough to carry the game engine? Unreal/Epic is a special case. But is Unity mismanaged so hard? It still has huge market share.
