Plus switching from the subscription model to a one-time fee for commercial PC-only license. Nice.

I enjoyed this part of the announcement:

We have seen other platforms making awkward moves with their pricing and terms, so we thought, what if we did the opposite

I wonder who they could possibly be referencing 🤔

Well that was unexpected! I'm glad to see them go back to a one-time fee, that previous switch was basically the final nail in the coffin that cemented my migration to Godot at the time

Encouraging to see that lessons can still be learned, at least!
