Once you IPO, the market requires you to put the foot on the gas and never let up. Growth, growth, growth, baby.
So many examples out there of public game companies making decisions to hit short term quarterly targets and expectations at the expense of long term stability and success.
If you think that Unreal (and any other games or engine you install on your PC) is not reporting info back to the company, I've got a bridge to sell you lol.
I'm sure it's been said by a solid hundred fellow indie devs here, but I'm going to be sticking with Unity inasmuch as I already have a project on the go with it. I'm on free and nowhere near 200,000 anythings right now, so I'm pretty safe.
But as soon as I can take a little bit of a break from working on my game daily, I'm going to start trying to throw some of its mechanics into a proof of concept UE testbed and see how green the grass elsewhere

huh...a couple Japanese doujin devs are also switching to GODOT from unity. You know it's bad when even the doujin community is dumping your engine XD.
A project I've been lightly following for a while now is Road to Vostok which is a Stalker-like single player game mixing in some things from extraction and survival shooters. The solo dev has announced that after the Unity fiasco he will be porting his game to Godot. More details in his video:

I find it interesting after so many years of Unity experience and with a project that is far into production he is jumping ship. Really shows how important trust is and Unity at this point even if they had fully walked back their changes likely would have had people like him moving off of it. He goes more in depth into his feelings and why it all matters, worth watching even if you don't care about his particular project.
