When you hitch your wagon to someone else's horse you can't get mad when it goes in a direction you don't like.

- TigeriusKirk 5y agoSure you can.
- droopyEyelids 5y agoThe other day I got angry at my dog food bowl when I kicked it in the dark— and I'm the one who left it in the wrong place!

- bilbo0s 5y agoWell, you can get mad, but your only real recourse is to unhitch your wagon. Most unity users won't do that, they don't have the resources or ability to make their own engines, and many are not even able to effectively use the reasonable competing engines like Unreal. Unity users are pretty much a captive market at this point. Really good business for Unity, probably not so good a situation for Unity users long term.
- nathanvanfleet 5y agoYou just have to write your own engine nowadays. Yup. Maybe even make your own console. But don't write in someone else's language. This is the "deserved to be shot" argument of things. You just aren't allowed to complain somehow? Why not?
- DaiPlusPlus 5y ago> But don't write in someone else's language. This is the "deserved to be shot" argument of things. Amen. Remember all those closed and proprietary "4GL" programming languages throughout the 1990s? And all the business software titles built using them? All gone now. History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes.

- TeaDude 5y ago"All gone now." In a perfect world, maybe... In one of my previous jobs? Nope! ...and no intention of replacing it! I liked the job but wrangling that unholy cobbled together mess made me want to fly to America and commit seppuku in front of the Progress offices to express my displeasure.
