In September 2023, Unity announced a per-install runtime fee that caused massive developer backlash. Over 1,000 indie developers signed protest letters. Though reversed in 2024, many developers lost trust in Unity's management and began exploring alternatives. The damage to Unity's reputation persists.
Unity Pro rose 8% in 2025 (from $2,040 to $2,200/year) and another 5% in 2026 (to $2,310/year). Enterprise increased 25%. These continuous price increases frustrate developers, especially since the runtime fee reversal was accompanied by price hikes. Many feel they're paying more for an engine that lost their trust.
The Asset Store contains many low-quality or abandoned assets alongside good ones. Developers waste money on assets that don't work as advertised or aren't updated for new Unity versions. Plugin compatibility issues are common.
