Unreal: look at all of this incredible stuff that you can have MEOW
Unity: uh yeah we...have stuff...coming sometime...

Sigh
Aras Pranckevičius@gekido Unity on the engine side has had (for like 7 years by now) several huge problems that it does not want to admit. Largest one is that there's no vision where it wants to go. It does not have "a roadmap", it has a todo list.
(TBH, DOTS is (was?) *a* vision. But a wrong one *for Unity*, IMHO)
@gekido and then couple that with internal processes that feel like they are designed to squander any ideas/creativity/innovation and slow everything down, and you get this result. :(((

Neil Henning@logicalerror @aras @gekido the process creep completely suffocated me to be honest. I lost the will to do anything under it.
@gekido @sheredom @aras I was so motivated & had so much energy when I started .. If I had been given the chance I would've build amazing level design tools
Instead I was constantly put into teams w/ things i had no experience with, don't get me wrong ... I learned a lot of new things, but it felt like my knowledge & experience was just wasted

Martin Kift@logicalerror @sheredom @aras @gekido as an outsider looking in, I don’t see how unity can compete with unreal (and Fortnite, since they feed each other) in the AA and AAA space.
If it was my decision I’d target indie and mobile, and every “system” on the roadmap would fit into that focus.
Definitely no DOTs, i like data oriented programming but most indie and mobile devs won’t use it, or more accurately, should only use it in smaller areas of their code base which would benefit from it.
@aras @MouseByTheSea @gekido @sheredom before fortnite there were some really strong rumors epic was in financial trouble .. in a parallel universe things would've been very different
Bart Wronski 🇺🇦🇵🇸@logicalerror @aras @gekido yeah there was a time when "everyone" was joining Unity, so many great people... It's was a real shame to see so much wasted potential.
And then all the news slowed down, only interrupted with bizarre web3 etc leaks.
I still want Unity to succeed - as much as I love Unreal folks, having only single AAA engine won't be healthy for the industry.

Dominik Grabiec@BartWronski @logicalerror @aras @gekido having just Unity and Unreal engine is also bad for the industry. Though this is where it's heading by the looks of things, even large studios abandoning their own tech and moving to one of those.
