> Open Source is going to be the future.

This is the fucking developer equivalent of "fusion energy is a decade away"

Its more like "TCP might be here to stay" since Open Source basically ate most of the software world already and has definitely cemented itself as essential infrastructure in our world.

Godot is here though?

Except anyone can use Godot right now.

The "future" part is about market uptake, resource availability, etc.

To repeat a sibling comment: What are actually good alternatives?

>Open Source is going to be the future.

I think it would be more accurate to say Open Source was the past. The future is absolutely anyone's guess.

It is bad form to engage in victim blaming. While yes, Unity has been pretty bad for a while, lots of times there is already a lot of development work sunk into existing programs. It would oftentimes sink the business switching engines rather than finishing up the existing project.
