This is of course not including the yearly Unity subscription, where Unity Pro costs $2,040 per seat (although they may have Enterprise pricing)

Absolutely ridiculous. Many Unity devs are saying they're switching engines on social media.

I'm not saying it's a good thing. In fact, I opened with the statement that it's not a good thing. But it just seems to be the way things are done, intentional or not. It's a constant 2 steps forward, 1 and a half steps back, but slowly we do make some progress. This is just an observation that I've noticed. I truly wish it were different, but that's just how things seem to unfold.
