     @arstechnica they're on full damage control. What we all should do is use godot, bevy, or whatever that instead of making promises of not stabbing you again in the back, just can't.

     @arstechnica Bull. His intent was to nickel and dime developer and users to raise as much as revenue as possible. Does Unit have shareholders? If so, there's the answer.

     @arstechnica This kind of corporate fuckery is the exact reason I went rogue and adopted a 100% open source workflow like 10 years ago.

     @arstechnica That wasn't nickel and dimeing that was fraud, extortion, it was straight up racketeering.

     @arstechnica Too late. Why would I even consider investing effort to learn and use #Unity when this could very easily happen again? I think Godot is the smart way to go.
