Well, sometimes wishes do come true.

I had said I was hoping Unity Free would go away, have pro features for everyone or maybe a subscription type of system. Well the best of both worlds happened last week. Unity released version 5 with a Pro subscription of 75.00/month or 1500.00 for a perpetual license and the old Free version of Unity has been put to the pasture. They released the Personal Edition having all of the features of Pro with none of the restrictions the old free version had, with the exception of a splash screen for the personal edition and no dark skin.

The pro subscription gives you asset store 11 which is monthly deals provided only to pro users etc.. Team licenses (I think that is what it is called, cloud storage, pro community access and other things, none of which interest me.

If you want some funny reading you should head on over to the Unity community ‘discussion’ thread and look at all the bitching about the splash screen specifically the words ‘personal edition’ within the splash. The absolute childishness of some of these people is revolting (although funny).

I am loving the anouncment, Unity Pro is now free. 🙂 🙂
