What part of the business model do people not like?
- clktmr 7y agoClosed source.
- danShumway 7y agoTheir subscription model gives Unity the ability to change the TOS under dev's feet. [0] Unity eventually walked back this change after a prolonged negative press campaign on Twitter, but counting on Twitter mobs to solve your future problems is a really bad business strategy. I occasionally use closed-source programs for development, but I don't use programs where the output is constrained by a license, and I don't use programs where the TOS that binds me can be changed on a whim. I'll use a closed-source program like Aseprite or Reaper, I won't use Creative Cloud or Unity. The benefits aren't worth the risk.
