Inevitable. They're eventually going to kill Java as it don't make the big MTX bucks. Push Fomo of anyone not on Bedrock until people don't mind when they put it out of it's misery.

The art is to make people want what you want.

Oh look, the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory.

I think you've been consuming too much Jordan Petersen.

That whole theory was rooted in anti-semitism and some weird mistrust that Jews were imposing culture on them. It's the biggest load of baloney.

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.

Not necessarily. I went with Unreal. It's a great engine and at least you know where you stand with them. I'd love Godot to make both obsolete, but it'll take time to mature to that level.

You don't, you can compile from source.

Unreal is a top class engine. Yes, it's proprietary and you always have to be cautious, but right now, it's an engine that delivers top features that can build great games and isn't run by Unity. If you win big, you need to pay, but you know that going into it.

Godot is great and improving all the time but it needs maturity.

It was a head vs heart decision and the head won this time.

But some won't consider it. I was 2 months into a project and abandoned it. I'm now knee deep into another project in Unreal. If this doesn't go well, it'll be Godot, or Bevy or Armory. Unity is dead to me. It's still the same company run by the same board and I do not trust them.

Most don't switch as they have in house skills that would cost to retrain. The real kicker is the big studios of the future that started their projects on Godot. Those Godot games that succeed (like Cassette Beasts or Brotato) may fund the big studios of the future, and you know their leads will be Godot specialists looking for Godot devs.

Other big studios may trial Godot, but when the seed is planted, the trees take 2 to 5 years to mature.

Too late, moved to Unreal.

If this doesn't work out, Godot will be the next port of call.

I just want to say thank you for providing the instance.

For myself, lemmy.world and lemmy.ml are strictly politically one way or another and perhaps somewhat intolerant of other views. I like how this space is something that can be a gateway into interacting with users of all persuasions without the "quick, defederate them all" nonsense. I only hope and wish that lemm.ee grows to maintain it's position as one of the key cornerstones of the lemmy community.

Thanks for providing this space and persisting. I can imagine it has not been easy.

Are the problem with the people who watch the video, or the people who create, or host the videos?

Nah. I'm British, and today is 31/12/2023. We use slashes. American's are just wrong.

Valid question. After reading his opinions, why would anyone follow his mastodon?

If he's a good YouTuber, it's like following a footballer who has shit opinions. I'll watch you play football, but screw following your nonsense stream of consciousness.
