NoSleep

He was propably the third one this day.

Yeah, that sounds way better!

okay, but what happens if those die out? Will there be more?

This kinda leaves out the most important parts.

We didn’t try a social democracy with worker owned coops / democratized workplaces yet.

I think they meant YouTube would die in a year or less if it was seperated from google. But I am not quite sure.

And I work as a software developer. You can’t just suddenly leave the software behind your business is based on. For a lot of VR or WebGL related Companies there is no alternative to Unity. Also they are not broke right now and most likely won’t be next year because of Unitys policy changes. Most devs won’t be affected at all. Why just give up your hole business now because there might be problems in the future? Staying with Unity now gives us time to change the business model or find another technology.

A lot of developers have really tight profit margins and/or their current projects heavily rely on what Unity provides. “Cutting their losses and move on” would mean bankruptcy. They might be able to switch to other engines in the future but right now leaving Unity behind is not a valid decision for them.
