    That’s because both Unity and Godot use C# while Unreal uses C++ for development. It is much easier to move from Unity to Godot since they use the same language for development. Moving to Unreal basically means starting over.

        Yeah exactly, Unity and Godot both use C# the same way React and Svelte both use JavaScript. Definitely some level of transferability, but honestly worth learning GDScript in my opinion because it’s a simple language and a pretty good fit for game scripting, and the one that gets first class attention from Godot.

      Pretty sure Godot has it’s own scripting language (hence the prompt converting all the C#/JS code from Unity).

      Unreal is C++ but it’s also another commercial proprietary engine, so they could rug-pull in the same way.
