“Even if Unity were to recant their policies and statements, the destruction of trust is not so easily repaired.”
To put their money where their mouth is, Re-Logic pledged to donate $100,000 to both Godot and FNA, two open-source game engines. On top of the lump sums, Re-Logic said they would continue to donate $1,000 each month for the foreseeable future, as long as neither engine goes the way of Unity.
“All we ask in return is that they remain good people and keep doing all that they can to make these engines powerful and approachable for developers everywhere.”
