The new Unity 6 game engine demo looks spectacular but is it enough to convince developers to return? (www.pcgamer.com)

Professional game makers care very much about how Unity operates as a business these days.

Sounds like you feel positively about Unity and get defensive when it's attacked.

Don't get me wrong, Unity is a solid engine. I used to use it and enjoyed the experience but resent the company and their board who are still sitting pretty. Still not held to account. If it was open source, I'd probably use it, but I simply cannot trust the company to not enshittify again in the future. When they pushed these changes through, they choose to ignore their users. I could not put myself in the situation where I'd be open to getting screwed by them again. Good luck if you are fine with that risk, but you probably should understand those that put months of work into Unity and had it taken from them (myself, fortunately it was only 4 months). I'm pretty angry about it. I resent people stealing 4 months of my life.
