I’m curious why you say Unity will have no choice but to go open source?

  it already is happening (kinda), they are modularizing their engine, and all the new parts are made open source biggest part what their graphics stack https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/Graphics https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/Graphics (only the scripting part) competition is growing, unreal is fully open source, and more and more people have been asking for the source, there was even some drama few years ago when unity DMCA'd (if i remember correctly) a reference source code of unity engine (decompiled) on github, then unity made it officially available on their github: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference after users complained about it wich already proved effective and caused them to fix a huge performance issue shortly after: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference/pull/1 https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference/pull/...

    unreal is not "open source". "open source" has a specific meaning and Unreal doesn't fit. Some people call unreal "source available" https://www.google.com/search?q=open+source+definition https://www.google.com/search?q=open+source+definition
