So I sent a bug report to Unity about it not picking up file changes properly; got a reply that I need to include my project files in the report, and if I would like to please send that to some Google drive.

Yeah, nah I'm cool thanks. 😬

Luckily, someone on the Unity forums came up with a DIY workaround script!

Ok, my thoughts so far are that while Unity’s greedy dick move is awful for many gamedevs who work so hard and earn so little already, it will hopefully prove a good thing in the grand scheme of things, because it will be a lesson for gamedevs to keep away from proprietary game engines and for companies to control their greed (who am I kidding about the last bit…? 🙃).

There are references to tons of FOSS game engines in the quoted post and its comments, and more here.

You can never trust a non-FOSS product to remain useable/maintained/future-proof, but you can be sure a FOSS project can in principle survive its developers and the choices they make, albeit as a fork.
