Unity is a big user of it as well.

  AFAIK Unity is stuck on an ancient version due to licensing issues.

    The just bumped to a new version in the newest betas. After Microsoft bought Xamarin those licensing issues appear to have gone, which makes sense given MS's strategy.

      That's awesome news!

    not anymore, new stuff coming now that MS owns xamarin

    I'm still not sure why Microsoft hasn't just bought out Unity. Unity is almost like DirectX was for the 1990s for the 2010s.

      Microsoft had XNA. That didn't turn out too well for them.
      • douche 9y ago
        For some reason they decided to scuttle that in the Balmer/Sinofsky/Nadella shakeups. It's actually a pretty nifty API to use, and has some continuation as MonoGame. Notably, Stardew Valley is an XNA/Monogame product.

        XNA died due to internal Microsoft politics, nothing to do with technology. Window Phone 8 redesign was a consequence of WinDev, led by Synofsky winning their usual disputes against DevTools. Nowadays they even support MonoGame on XBox and already apologized the process didn't went out as it should have been in first place. EDIT: Here they welcome MonoGame into XBox program http://news.xbox.com/2016/03/14/letter-chris-charla-idxbox-updates-gdc/ http://news.xbox.com/2016/03/14/letter-chris-charla-idxbox-u... And here Unity is listed as one of the official Windows 10 game middleware https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/games/uwp https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/games/uwp

  They working on a Unreal Engine implementation too. I really can't wait for that. It sounds like they in the final stages however, it has been there for a few months.
