The craziest thing to me about this whole situation is how Unity even came into being.

Ok, how?

Are you saying it's "crazy" that something was created to fill the massive hole in the market that you described, or...?

    Yeah... it's crazy because it was created specifically as a way to take advantage of how completely arrogant Epic was licensing their trash fire game engine for $1,000,000... and now they did something in the exact same sort of vein of arrogance.
