I have been a developer professionally and exclusively using Unity for 17 years. Yesterday, I installed Unreal Engine. Iโm doing as many tutorials as I can this weekend.
I have no faith now that there will be enough studios willing to use Unity to sustain a career based on it.
"Proprietary Software A is evil. I'm switching to Proprietary software B. I'm sure they won't eventually fuck me over for money"
Maybe check out an actual FOSS product like Godot
Godot is great, and in 5 years it could be Blender level of capable, but today it's not at the level that Unity and UE are. and Op is a working professional apparently so they probably need that capability.
It would be a shame if OP were out of a job because he is waiting for Godot.
Wow, what a long and meta meme it would be if the engine is simply created to never be ready on purpose, hence waiting for Godot.
Godot was created by its devs for internal projects and there was a sizeable gap between the time they announced that it would be open-sourced and made available to the public and the time they actually did it. Godot 4 also took a lot longer to release than anyone expected.
Godot devs are used to waiting.
Please don't trigger that kind of dread feeling ๐

Angry because you also suffered through the theater of the absurd in high school? (I studied The Caretaker by Harold Pinter... for a whole school year ๐ญ)
Pinter and Abish. My favorite parts of Philosophy in Literature class, lol.
You've earned your rest, soldier.
