The new Unity 6 game engine demo looks spectacular but is it enough to convince developers to return? (www.pcgamer.com)

Professional game makers care very much about how Unity operates as a business these days.

Never forget, every Unity demo we've seen has a ton of custom tools. For example, in "The Book of the Dead" they had all these custom tools, even some obscure AO tech for trees that didn’t work when I downloaded it. I remember complaining about it on their forums. Unlike Unreal, Unity’s never really “what you see is what you get”. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the short film, but Unity has always been like that, kind of "faking" the real capabilities of the engine. From an investor’s point of view, though, I guess it's good marketing.
