Too little too late

I am not a developer but I do sometimes recommend software to end users. Unity is dead to me. I will never recommend Unity to anyone for any reason.

Uhhh... You can't unring a bell 😂

I understand that this new CEO has been dealt a pretty shit hand and is doing their best. But, I doubt they'll win back many people that have already migrated to new tools.

I doubt they’ll win back many people that have already migrated to new tools.

Probably the developers who didn't migrate away don't care about the fee at all and the one who left would probably think something along the lines of "I learned a new engine and who's to say they won't pull the same shit again".

Plus for most "this new engine is free forever and built by other developers like me". Why would anyone want to switch back after learning it?

Free forever, until it's not

Godot is, because it's open source. If the maintainers ever wanted to close source it, someone forks it and it continues on.

Gitea just tried that earlier this year (or last). Owners tried to make it for profit, community forked it, created Forgejo, and we continue on under that name now.
