Unity has introduced a predatory "per-install fee" that will be awful for thousands of indie developers.

This is a post made to show you free and open source tools for game development.

Programming: VS Codium
3D Modeling: Blender
Music Production: Ardour, LMMS
Audio Editing: Audacity
Image Editing: GIMP
Digital Art: Krita
Video Production: Kdenlive
Textures and Models: Polyhaven (CC0)

Please tell anyone you know who uses Unity about this, and boost to spread awareness.

In January 2024, Unity will introduce a new Unity Runtime Fee based on game installs. Prior to this, Unity subscription plans will add cloud-based asset storage, Unity DevOps tools, and AI at runtime at no additional cost.

@analog_feelings You can throw LMMS in the bunch for an alternative DAW to Ardour.

@Deiru I've included Ardour because it has a UI most similar to FL Studio, which may aid in making people feel more comfortable, but I will add it anyways.

@analog_feelings @Deiru I would argue LMMS is the one that has the FL studio UI though and Ardour is more a more generic DAW environment
