That's a good point, I can edit that for clarity in the article (especially since I mentioned Godot's Patreon support later in the article). I was assuming that the Patreon support didn't amount to full time support for all the devs that contribute, but I don't know if that's true or not.
Either way, it seems a lot of people have contributed without sponsorship, but the main devs are (hopefully) compensated.
- prox 4y agoThere are at leasts two full time devs and a handful of other devs on paid projects (by way of Patreon and a few large donations of companies like Epic)
- blt 4y agointeresting, what is Epic's stated motivation for funding a "competitor"?
- prox 4y agoAs I understood it reading the news, it is more like a grant for innovation, so just a PR opportunity for Epic. I don’t think they are worried that much. I think Blender got the same grant as well, and maybe others.
