This is of course not including the yearly Unity subscription, where Unity Pro costs $2,040 per seat (although they may have Enterprise pricing)

Absolutely ridiculous. Many Unity devs are saying they're switching engines on social media.

Will Garry Newman decide to reskill his devs to use Godot? Will anybody with enough power decide to do so? Imagine if game studios big and small decided "we don't want to have to deal with this ever again, we're making a new or investing in an existing opensource game engine".

I wish people would see the light, but will they?

    Ehhh, I doubt it. His team is currently working on Source 2 for their game S&Box. I would expect he's pretty close with Valve so he might just use Source 2 for the foreseeable future.

    Why did they use Unity instead of Source 2 for Rust?

    Rust was made about a decade ago, Source 2 wasn't a thing yet and there weren't many other engine options.

    Do you really need him to cite sources on easily verifiable info? Just look it up and move on if you really need to check. Rust being made before source 2 released isn't exactly some crazy idea

    No, I meant, maybe they could have used the Source 1 engine?

    Oh, gotcha. So in the case of source 1, I don't think it would handle the seamless open world very well, or any of the building mechanics. Given that he's also the creator of Gary's mod, I'm sure he considered source 1 and rejected it due to its limitations. Even 10 years ago source was pretty out dated. It's kind of shocking what Titanfall was able to achieve with it, but they modified it pretty extensively.
