Agreed, but Godot was rough around the edges at the time. The only good news from that Unity dev fee bullshit was Re-Logic donating a shitton of money to Godot, and Godot getting a well-needed injection of development.

Now? There's no excuse to be using Unity. Even RimWorld just ripped out their Unity code and replaced it with their own engine. No new features, just a new, much faster backend.
