    Sometimes I look at the Unity Game Engine’s stock history after that one “destroy all indie gaming” plan, and I remember companies are volatile organizations at the consumers’ mercy.

      Early 2010s I asked the company I worked for to approve some free game engines to be installed. The legal department returned a big no with pages of why Unity should not be allowed in the premises. We proceeded with Unreal, Blender and eventually Godot as tools any employee could install.

      Unity was bad back them, it is just that people did not read the agreements and tech sheet. Their new leadership just made that more apparent.
