@LukeAlmighty anyone still using unity after the ceo started saying "game devs don't monetize enough and they're fucking stupid because of that" and teamed up with a spyware company kind of gets what is coming to them.
I feel bad for the devs who can't really change their engine now, if they're too far into their project.
The sad thing is that this will just push more devs to Unreal, who already has a huge market share even in the AAA space.
This is also kind of the problem with "free" game dev tools in general. With a paid engine like RPG Maker you don't have to owe any royalties whatsoever. That's one thing that I really like about it.
I'm going to be learning Godot as soon as my current game is finished. I may or may not use it for my next one, just depending on how fast I can learn it and how intuitive it is.
@LukeAlmighty the big 2 are unreal and unity, and even though godot is gaining popularity it's nowhere close to touching those. game maker is probably more popular than godot is.
@beardalaxy
Yeah, but this is kind of a Netflix dilema.
These companies need one bug project, and can get filthy rich as long as the project does not "belong" to any of them.
My point is, that using Unreal is suicidal, since these studios will still be one greedy decision away from being just fucked.
@beardalaxy
Fuck... My pure capitalist greed is turning me into an open source commie.
@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy Open source is not communist. Ancaps don't believe in intellectual property either. One of the most prominent leaders of the open source movement Eric S Raymond is a right-libertarian and openly gets triggered when you call FOSS communist.

The correct term is "freemium".
@xianc78 @LukeAlmighty thank you i couldn't remember the term so i just put it in quotes lol

The one thing that might make people use Godot instead of Unreal is that Godot supports C#, the same language that Unity uses. Unreal only supports C++ and Blueprints.
Though all three engines have different ways of dealing with 3D coordinates which can make everything a bit confusing.
@xianc78 @LukeAlmighty oh weird, i didn't know unreal didn't have c# support.
@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty Apparently, some Microsoft employee gave the Godot team a $24,000 donation on the condition that they added C# support. They had to make a separate version though as C# runs on a VM as opposed to native machine code.
@danielhudson @beardalaxy
Are you ok man?
Did you even try living a happy life?
@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy Daniel Hudson thinks that you are a race traitor if you are white and not constantly fighting genocidal wars of conquest against all other races.
He believes that video games were created to distract white people towards that goal.
@xianc78 @beardalaxy
Wow... And I thought Niggers were enslaved by the color of their skin
@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy Check out his profile for a good laugh.
@xianc78 @LukeAlmighty despite not doing that himself, which makes him a filthy race traitor
@danielhudson @LukeAlmighty DAMN YE! Let Neptune strike ye dead, Daniel! HAAARK! Hark, Triton! Hark! Bellow! Bid our father, the Sea King, rise from the depths, full-foul in his fury, black waves teeming with salt-foam, to smother this young mouth with pungent slime, to choke ye, engorging your organs 'till ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more... only when, he, crowned in cockle shells with slithering tentacled tail and steaming beard, takes up his fell, be-finnèd arm – his coral-tined trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest and plunges right through yer gullet! BURSTING YE, a bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now – a nothing for the Harpies and the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon, only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the Dread Emperor himself, forgotten to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the sea... for any stuff or part of Daniel, even any scantling of your soul, is Daniel no more, but is now itself the sea!

Can we compromise, and say

@beardalaxy
Going from Unity to Unreal after this would be an IQ test fail worthy of a western company.
I hope at least 10 percent of that founding pours to Godot instead, accelerating its development exponentially.
