Why didn't humanity collaborate on a free and open source game engine already? It works with OS kernels, then why not game engines?
It's called Godot. It is basically on its path to becoming the Blender of game engines.
In that case, this unity price change may be the company giving up, knowing that they will be eaten by open source soon
Definitely not, they're huge. They even purchased Weta digital recently (lord of the rings animation company). The're going nowhere fast. They're just eeking every little cent they can out of every little crevice of their offerings.
Ironically Blender also has game engine features, though I don't think anyone ever used it as such.
Godot?
In addition to the mentioned Godot, Monogame is available as well.
Godot?
Check out alternativeto.net and filter by open source, it's really useful
Godot was already mentioned. Someone on Mastodon brought up the Bevy Engine as well.
I know bevy and I know that it is certainly far behind Godot. It's written in Rust though, so that gives it a lot of future potential, compared to Godot especially.
