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.

๐Ÿค” So what's stopping people from simply making games under the free license and selling them anyway without paying Unity ridiculous taxes and fees?

Also now would be a great time to just use Godot and be done with it.

Last time I checked out Godot it wasn't exactly what you called fully featured. So really it isn't an unequivalent replacement.

Unity was a massive pile of crap when it was first released as well. Hopefully Godot will improve over time like unity did.

Problem is back then no better alternative existed. Now it does

Another problem is that Unity has a team of paid engineers and Godot doesn't. Or does it?

Godot is also open source.
