MODERATORS
They could, but I’ve always heard/read they make so much money from everything else they really don’t care too much to fuck over devs like that. Have they ever done something similar to a dev team? Honest question
Not that I know, but Unity also has been great for indie devs since 2005, so you never know. All that matters is what ToS says, not promises or history. New CEO can decide on a whim to change the whole company's direction.
Completely agree. I think this is why so many studios just make their own engines yeah? Takes a long time to make but saves you trouble in the future
With AAA studios it's more the revenue share than anything. It's cheaper for them to spend salary on employees for a few years to develop an engine they can built 5-10 games on than having to pay revenue share for each title.
