Nah, this was mass hysteria.

  Nah, people in position of picking the engine for the next project are not going to pick Unity.

    At least one publisher jokingly (but not jokingly) said "developers: make sure you include which engine you're using next time you pitch us a game!"...

      That's normal and has been for years. Your choice of engine affects your business model.
      • sbarre 3y ago
        Yes but a very public tweet about it in the middle of this Unity debacle was not accidental timing or just a random reminder of this fact.

  When they tell you that you have to report your installs and sales each month just like you do your taxes, that's when you notice there are other free engines.

  It's not "mass hysteria" to observe that your business partner is willing to attempt to retroactively change the terms of your arrangement with them, and therefore decide they aren't trustworthy as a business partner. The actual monetary cost to developers is actually quite inconsequential compared to the lack of integrity Unity showed in trying to make this apply to games which were already released.

    I think the concern is real but I don’t think there is another viable competitor to Unity

  "EVERYBODY disliked that" is not hysteria
