That's more a gripe with badly-designed SPAs than all SPAs however. Many SPAs use the history API[1] to make a URL for everything -- Backbone, Angular[2] and such support this for example. React.js apps typically use some kind of route

As someone that has used both UE and Unity, Unity is far more restrictive in its free state (no soft shadows, forced Unity splash screen, no level of detail support, no inverse kinematics for animations, no profiler, and many more). Also th
