Unity's Runtime Fee debacle cost it the trust of several indie developers, and led to Slay the Spire 2 being made in Godot.

I've got to imagine Epic is pretty pissed at Unity right now. Both had a pretty sweet gig "competing" against each other.

But since Unity's brain-dead maneuver, we suddenly have a foss alternative to both, and they might actually have to innovate now.

Considering Epic is funding Godot iirc, I'm sure they're more than happy with their competitor shooting themselves in the foot.

No mention of Epic in Godot's transparency report.

Oh, seems like it was a one time thing then. Apparently they got a grant in 2020 and that was it.
