  Why?

  This new platform lets us significantly reduce platform fees, and as a non-profit we do not charge VAT on donations, unlike a platform like Patreon does. So your contributions go directly towards the development and improvement of the Godot Engine itself.

  If you are currently supporting us through Patreon, we encourage you to switch to the Godot Development Fund to increase the effectiveness of your donations.

  Unity starts charging devs per install, while Godot (a nonprofit) takes advantage of the news to convert already donating Patron customers and hopefully bring in a few more. Perhaps you only read the headline?

  This is a really interesting way to phrase a compliment on their timing… if that’s what’s happening here.

    I think he meant that Swiss watches have near perfect timing, so the timing of this is more than perfect because the shit Unity is pulling.
