  €10 may not be much, but as a broke gamedev student, I’m really hoping this Unity exodus is just the boost Godot needs to become more competitive with Unity.

    Is there really an exodus? That would be great !

      Too early to tell, but it could signal the start of a trend where developers and game studios at least entertain the idea of having a look at other engine before going with unity.

      Don’t underestimate the sunk cost of Unity. it’s big, it’s taught in game classes, you might have years of in-house tools which you couldn’t re-use.

      I can see hobbyist switching and game studios with games that are easy to port, like arcade-style 2d games. For a lot of studio switching is a real risk of bankruptcy, more so than the extra fees. It will take more than a few days for Unity to fall, or even have an “exodus”.

      Can't say personally, but for many it's the first time they're even looking at what other engines have to offer.

  $10 may seem like nothing and all you can spare, but it definitely adds up and is very important. That $10 is still very important and making a difference.
