I'm a big fan of love2d, but for _almost everyone_ it's not a replacement for unity.

Looking at https://steamdb.info/tech/Engine/Love2D/, there's only two games on that list that (based on steamspy numbers) that would actually be affected by the recent pricing changes.

If you're objecting to Unity on moral grounds for it's new DRM philosophies, or it's CEO, well those were just as valid almost 10 years ago.
