I completely agree, old school RuneScape does this very well and I wish more companies tried to engage their users as much as those devs do

Jagex has supposedly been barely successful forever tho, unity takes in billions by being shitters. In the end that’s all some companies care about

Unity hasn't been profitable ever. Jagex is marginally profitable.

That's not true, Unity was profitable FY2022 (for the first time ever as a public company, not necessarily ever in their history): https://investors.unity.com/news/news-details/2023/Unity-Announces-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Year-2022-Financial-Results/default.aspx
