Imagine not being able to figure out how to make money with the most popular game engine ever made. (Patreon)

I hope Unity walks back their new terrible, anti-developer pricing structure, but even if they do, poor Unity devs will still be enslaved to their capricious, incompetent corporate overlords. Pour one out for the Unity devs. Godspeed.
All my games are made with free and open source software (the parts I didn't code myself). I didn't use AI either, not even something lightweight like GitHub copilot, for fear this could complicate my ownership over my codebase, since AI generated content can't be copyrighted right now. Point is, we'll be good, I don't have a rapacious corporate middleman sucking up money and getting between me and my codebase, so this can never happen to SS or Hex.
I have seen some takes that this Unity change isn't that bad, but I just want to say, it is as bad as people are making it seem. I think a lot of Internet outrage just winds up getting tuned out by people because it's often dumb or performative or just totally disproportionate, but this is one where I think the angry mob is like 100% right.
