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.

To be honest even a home written language and compiler would be based on someone else's hardware.

Come to think of it, imagine if American Megatrends would start with a subscription model.

10 USD tier: 10 free boots a month, each subsequent boot shows an ad. You can skip the ad for 25 crystals.

Crystals are bought in packs of 10 or 35.
