Yes, you read it well. A great news for all the indie developers. The well known middleware UNITY has changed their licensing prices. The Indie license, which was previously $200, is now free, while the professional license keeps the original $1499/â¬1099 cost.
UNITY was the choice for many small studios, or the great Derek Yu himself (Diabolika was created using this engine), and, in words of the company itself: "Unity Technologies has always believed that the best technology and products should be made available to all developers. We want to accelerate the availability of high quality interactive content. [...] With the explosive growth in new platforms and performance improvement in our Unity suite of products, we believe that there are no technical hurdles remaining for high quality interactive content everywhere. Now we are removing financial hurdles as well."
Suddenly one of the most interesting options for indie developers during these past years has become a hell lot more awesome.
