Unity Engine is Dead… The Game Dev Industry is Suffering

If you come in and say “Unity” to game developers, many of them have a reflex action to faint these days. The reason is not that it has advanced quality similar to Unreal Engine, It’s because they decided to kill themselves… Along with every other smaller game developers. Unity Engine has been one of the most popular game engines in the world for many years. It has been used to create a wide range of games, from indie hits like Stardew Valley to AAA blockbusters like Call of Duty: Mobile. However, Unity’s new terms and rules have led many developers to believe that the engine is now dead. <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:622/0*yn4ZVKkc8gQ0tDkd" style="height:350px; width:622px" /> <h1>The New Terms and Rules</h1> Unity’s new terms and rules, which were announced in January 2023, include a number of changes that have been met with criticism from developers. The most notable change is the introduction of a new commission structure. Under the new commission structure, Unity will charge developers a 30% commission on all revenue generated from games made using the Unity engine. This is a significant increase from the previous commission structure, which was 15%. Another notable change is the introduction of new rules regarding how developers can use Unity assets. Under the new rules, developers are prohibited from selling or redistributing Unity assets, even if they have modified them. This is a major restriction for developers, as it prevents them from creating and selling their own assets or from sharing assets with other developers. <a href="https://fadingeek.medium.com/unity-engine-dead-on-arrival-10e87214d7e9">Website</a>
