I don’t see the problem with this. I won’t buy anything from EA, Activision, Ubisoft, etc.
The logic that I’m “harming game developers” by NOT buying something is absolutely an asinine statement. I am not required to buy something if I disagree with their decisions.
If I don’t buy a gas car this year because I don’t like petrol use, am I “Harming Automakers”? See how stupid of an argument that is?
Obviously you can buy and not buy whatever you want, but usually if you’re going to boycott a business, you would pick the one whose decisions you disagree with (Unity), not the victims (game developers)
Yes, but gamers don’t buy game engines, they buy games. And part of the money they payed for the games goes to the engine creator. If you want to boycott unity, you have to boycott games made in unity.
Yep. I don’t want to fund Unity even second-hand at this point. Using Unity is a business decision, and if that’s the kind of business decision you make, we’re not doing business.
Plus, I’ve done my own game dev in the Godot engine long before Unity shit the dishwasher.
They made a decision that is bad for game developers and your response is to punish … game developers?

Maybe, wait until they start their next game, and see if they’ve moved away from unity.
Maybe, do some research and find out what the specific situation is before you buy.
Maybe, don’t hurt the people who were hurt by the situation.
But definitely this comment is for others, not you, since your mind is made up.
