  • Barely anything was left in the library by the time it burned down. It’s quite a myth that all that much was lost at all. By the time of its destruction, most of its books and knowledge has been moved elsewhere due to decades of reduced funding and support.

    Furthermore, the burning did not destroy the entire library. It was a gradual process over a long period of time. What destroyed far more of the books is a lack of care to copy them. Paper and papyrus don’t last that long, so the only way to permanently maintain them was by copying them out again. Which is a lot of work.









  • No, I’m well aware that Unity’s model is fucked up.

    I’m just saying that I don’t consider Unreal a valid alternative, especially as it’s owned by Epic who have shown themselves to be far worse than anything Unity has done already, and there are no other 3D engines as good as Unity. I called out Unreal also just because people are saying that Unity shouldn’t charge any fees as they think fees are unfair, but then happily recommend Unreal.

    Not saying necessarily to keep using it, I’m just saying it’s not as simple of a solution as just switching for a lot of devs.
