@SilverEagle I think #TheDamageIsDone and #IndieDevs have chosen to not trust #Unity3D when @godotengine is a feasible option for them and everyone else is treating them better...

I mean, there's a reason @defold got built (at least in part) by big #publishers because they don't want suck up yet another #PriceHike on their #Enterprise plans...

Not to mention more and more folks started with the whole @Blender / #blender + #GodotEngine / #Defold / ... tech stack and the big advantage #UnityEngine had - it's integrated and easily accessible #AssetStore - is waning.

An #Ottawa couple is sharing their #BuyerBeware story & importance of reading the fine print in contracts, following a shocking #PriceHike & #InterestRate adjustment for their home furnace financing.

In 2018, Sonya Rawlings and her husband, James, replaced their furnace, hot water tank & air conditioner, spending $17,000, financed through a company called #ProvincialHomeAssistance.

The trouble began in June 2024, when the #loan was renewed by a third company, #Financeit.

"Our interest rate jumped from 2.99% to 14.99% & our payment went from $60 a month to $136 a month," says Rawlings. "It's a shock. It's kind of like robbery. It's more than double the amount we were paying before."

Closer examination of the #financing details revealed the loan's original 10-year #amortization had been extended to 20 years by the second lender.
