Wait, is Unity allowed to just change its fee structure like that? | Confusing, contradictory terms of service clauses leave potential opening for lawsuits.::Confusing, contradictory terms of service clauses leave potential opening for lawsuits.

    Godot is in terrific shape should you not wish to give any of your revenue away. Of course I wouldn’t use Godot for a project that requires advanced rendering features or high graphical fidelity.

      Godot is also free software; if they tried to do something like Unity then 3rd parties can remove the offending code and even continue development without the them. Unreal is only source available, you ultimately could have the same issue with Unreal in the future.

        I don’t mean to be pedantic, but I think you meant Godot is open source. Yeah, I agree.

          Open source is the term the Godot website uses to refer to the engine. I’m using the term free software as I think about Unity being proprietary in terms of denying user freedom rather than weighing it up as a business decision.
