I will not buy any games made in Unity after September 2023. I'm giving the devs who had projects going before then a grace period, but if you're dumb enough to use Unity for a new game after the shit they pulled you're too dumb to have my money.

Just feels weird to punish game devs for spending years of their life learning an engine ruined by circumstances outside their control (plus there were no signs Unity would come close to downfall back then)

I had friends in Digipen's gamedev course and they paid for torturous nights and their final year on it, what a damn waste.

Being able to pivot is an important part of being a software developer. Technologies come and go faster than careers do.
