I made a video to help Unity devs quickly navigate things before they make decisions. Watch is not necessary I copy paste my video description below with all the links I shown in video. If you like to hear my thoughts or opinion then watch I don't mind, I don't use youtube video to make a living.
-----copy paste below-----
This is not tutorial video, also not video to tell you to use UE. It is a video that tell you the information you might need to start and make a decision for yourself. There are plenty of other better tutorial content creator than me, feel free to search for those.
TL;DW: Just click through the links if you don't want to spend 30+ mins hearing me talking about it.

I appreciate the tips and concern, but I'm doing fine, I've been holding on for over 10 years and I have an accountant. I live in a high VAT/tax area, so that just eats up a lot. I've outsourced investments to my bank, which has done a really great job up until the recession.
I'm not trying to defend Unity on this horrible fee, but outside of F2P, the Unity deal is going to be better than Unreal, and I think the non F2P crowd are the ones most likely to switch from Unity to Unreal, so they should be properly informed about the actual costs and Unity is always going to be a better deal if they're making more than 1m on a premium game.
