To be fair if you look at the majority of news these days, everything's blamed on white men specifically, which is both sexist and racist.

But no one complains about that yeah?

This is true, and I vouch for gamedevs to first test other engines to see the differences.

Calculating for the future is extremely important in pretty much everything.

Also I wouldn't say there would be performance issues, unless you somehow completely screw up coding and compiling said code.

Projects should work on top of a bottom layer, or translation layer as it's sometimes called; game logic calls for functions from there, instead of directly from the engine. This is also important for code security.

_move_entity might be calling the proprietary unity_move_object with a different reg stack, but when compiled the performance should be +/- 0.

Well I'd say that was true 5 years ago. Is it still? I'd not be so sure.

Small projects might as well start from scratch.

But projects with years of devtime are best ported.

Not downplaying the effort, it still takes time. But not impossible.

How you made it all matters in situations like this.

Depends how it's built.

I mean it's easy to reimplement entire games if you've built it modularly. Just swap your core game logic to run on another library and the game works the same it did before.

Edit: 'course, exceptions exist like if you wrote everything using their proprietary coding language, instead of using something universal.

Edit 2: It MAY still be possible that a translation/compiler exists that'll run as a plugin in a proprietary engine, and converts it into something universal.

Who even uses semicolons in 2023?

Jews are aliens?

Yes, software is getting worse, as education and corporate are getting worse.

Where employees needed to know what they actually were doing in the past, now is mostly auto-filled by IDE's and languages that target other languages, so employees need to know less and less fundamentals.

Which in turn means when a low-level error occurs, either no one knows how to fix it, or the corporate refuses to hire someone who knows how to fix it because they're "over-qualified", and therefore would "cost them too much".
