    From his tweet “ Anyone else had a call with a certain Game Engine company to tell you that for some reason you now have a MINIMUM SPEND of HALF A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR with them.

    Because our game is popular and we use their engine, we now have to spend $500k a year using their other services. Is this okay?”

    Just when I thought Unity learned lessons from last time… still speedrunning their reputation into the ground.
