I didn’t know how deliberately unprofitable Unity was, I assumed they had modest profits before the VC nonsense [edit: actually they did pre 2016] Billions of debt. They did the thing of burning through money to wipe everyone else out & get into a position of dominance, before hitting the screw-tightening button on their captive customer base. You know, the standard late capitalism shitty monopolist manoeuvre. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/unitys-self-combustion-engine-this-week-in-business

People trying to make profitable engines never stood a chance
