Nach intensiven Gesprächen mit unserer Community, Kunden und Partnern haben wir die Entscheidung getroffen, die Runtime-Gebühr mit sofortiger Wirkung zu verwerfen.
Most don’t switch as they have in house skills that would cost to retrain. The real kicker is the big studios of the future that started their projects on Godot. Those Godot games that succeed (like Cassette Beasts or Brotato) may fund the big studios of the future, and you know their leads will be Godot specialists looking for Godot devs.
Other big studios may trial Godot, but when the seed is planted, the trees take 2 to 5 years to mature.
Big names probably plan ahead and may have switched the projects that were not too deep into development or haven’t started yet. But it’s likely something to not be loudly announced
Did they though? I haven’t heard of a single big name studio switching to an opensource game engine.

I only know about the developers of Slay the Spire switching to Godot. Not the biggest name, but still well-known.

I can only hope the ecosystem will very different in 5 years.
