    Unity was one of the first applications that made me take a good look at FOSS in general because my experience with it was:

    “Hey let’s make a game for our final project”

    “Okay, let’s try Unity”

    Flashbanged in light mode

    Dark Mode is only available for real cash money subscription license

    “Yeah okay nvm let’s try something open source lol”

      They really paywalled dark mode? That move alone is incredibly dumb. Surefire way to alienate potential new users before they’ve even tested anything serious.

          having to hack around your IDE for something that simple is a real bad sign

      I’m building something heavily reliant on the physics engine. Unity you need to be an enterprise member for the ability to override methods related to physics. Easy choice

        Is that why so many unity games have the same feel? I’ve started looking into the game engine that’s used and avoiding unity games.
