In the current video game industry, it’s rare to find a studio that uses its own engine. The pie is mainly divided between two major engines, Unity<\/a> and Unreal Engine<\/a>, with Godot being a distant third in terms of usage. That’s why any changes in the policies of the companies that produce these engines, Unity and Epic respectively, are closely scrutinized<\/strong>. However, the recent changes in Unity’s business policies don’t require a close examination to see why they are causing quite a stir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unity is a game engine that has been used to create games like Pok\u00e9mon Go, Cult of the Lamb, Cuphead, or Fall Guys<\/strong>. It’s used for all kinds of games, both indie and large-scale productions, and up until now, it employed a subscription-based model. And we have to emphasize the “up until now.”<\/p>\n\n\n

In Unity, there are three licensing tiers. Unity Personal allows developers with annual revenues under $100,000 to use the engine for free. Those with revenues exceeding this but below $200,000 must pay for Unity Plus, which costs $400 per year. Anyone surpassing this figure is required to pay for Unity Pro, Industry, or Enterprise, which costs $2,000, $5,000, or a specific amount of dollars per year depending on their studio’s specific needs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Unity has done is announce the elimination of Unity Plus. Consequently, there’s now a leap from Personal to Pro, where the cost increases fivefold for the same service<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
