I'm frightened by this. Unity is the biggest push for C# other than Microsoft though. Hopefully Unity would never sell because once it is owned by a single platform, that will get preference and the whole multi-platform jig is up. That would further fragment because other platforms wouldn't trust Microsoft. Unless of course they sell off Xbox like Elop wanted to do. However Unity strongly relies on Mono which will now be run by Microsoft if this goes through. Either happening will cause some customer rage.
- asdf3 13y agoUnity would have to fork Mono, as would Gnome and Canonical and Redhat, etc... The comments here seem very trusting of Microsoft. If it was Oracle a fork would be a given.
- dualogy 13y agoI think they're already using their own fork of an older Mono version. They couldn't work out a mutually beneficial licensing deal with Xamarin to keep using their newest Mono versions or something. I think Unity have a good relationship with MS, so Mono being moved to MS should be good news to Unity -- for a while.
