It’s worthwhile remembering that in the AAA/AA space that Unity was “a meme” for far longer than it should have been. I remember first seeing it mentoring student teams in Dare to be Digital whilst working on an AAA title and thinking WTF is that!?
I’d also note that the ‘commercial games industry’ is much broader than AAA/AA, includes indie game developers and ships games making looooots of money on all sorts of weird tech stacks.
- alex_lav 3y agotbf Unity still is a meme in terms of AAA games.
- skelpmargyar 3y agoThat's not true. Wild Rift, Hearthstone, Genshin Impact, and more are made in Unity. Asset flip and low quality games are a meme, which used to be synonymous with Unity games, but the few AAA games made in Unity have been wildly successful.
- olig15 3y agoThat’s exactly the point. If you can list the number of ‘AAA’ games on one hand, then the meme holds true. I work on AAA games on in-house engines, and I’m yet to meet someone at work that would consider using Unity for anything other than a mobile, or small ‘indie’ game.
- meheleventyone 3y agoThat’s sad it’s still a prevailing attitude because it’s not really true. I definitely wouldn’t choose Unity for a AAA title for workflow issues alone but it’s way more capable than that summation grants.
