Unity’s CEO is stepping down from the company after a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:weeks-long controversy surrounding changes to the engine&rsꦍquo;s pricing model. But a change in leadership isn’t enough to brin🉐g some developers back to the engine.

Unity tꦇhat John Riccitiello - the company’s president, chief executive🐼 officer, chairman, and board of directors member - would “retire” from all of his roles. The announcement didn’t mention the pricing controversy at all, only that Unity was beginning a “comprehensive search process” for the next CEO.

: “cool! anyways, our next game is moving to Godot.” (Godot is another smaller game development engine that’s been gaining popularity since Unity’s troubles.) A change in leadership was seemingly too little, too late for Slay The Spire’s developers, who had previously 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:roasted the pricing changes.

Gregorios Kythreotis, the creative director behind the great open-world indie Sable, had a more optimistic reaction. “Let’s see who replaces him but potentially a big step in the right d🌠irection here,” he wrote on . “Would make a huge difference in how I feel about Unity going forward. I still think they should strongly reconsider their new terms or at least how soon they are implemented.”

A 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:formal apology from the company and an updated fee pꦦolicy were enough🐈 to leave some developers “deeply happy,” while the majority were understandably concerned about Unity's future and were eyeing up other engines. Vampire Survivors’ creator already said ꦰ澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the team wouldn’t go back to Unity

Terraria’s developer also protested the pricing changes by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:donating money to competing engines.
