It’s the fact that you won’t go far without some basic knowledge of a 3D editor. I’ve been using Blender for my Flash 3D experiments, but I can’t honestly say I knew anything about it. I was able to model some very basic shapes, and whenever I needed something more complex I’d ask someone who’s more experienced or just find a free model on the Internet. With Unity it just doesn’t make sense. You won’t be able to understand half of the functionality if you don’t have a 3D editor to work with. By the way, I’m not the only one who noticed this.

I will admit it is a little earlier than I thought considering how much new stuff in included in the new version. The great news for hobbyist is Unity will still be free and if you buy Pro the license it will work for both 2.6 and 3.x.

You can even use it for commercial projects in most situations. https://store.unity3d.com/shop/ Only the Pro version is $1499 which gives a lot more features, it's geared towards people that want to be a little more than a standard hobbies. You are correct the iPhone add-on is $400. As for it being a few months before the next version. As 2.6 was released not that long ago it is going to be a while before they release a 3.0 version which I would guess would be the next paid upgrade release. I actually purchased what use to be Unity Indie a few months before they made it free and they offered to give me my money back or give me a deal to upgrade to Pro. I upgraded to Pro. :) While I understand people don't like software that costs money, when the standard version is free and will do most stuff people want to do. I don't think you can go wrong. @dja Actually the standard version is free. You can even use it for commercial projects in most situations. https://store.unity3d.com/shop/

So asking for $1500 for Unity Pro isn't that crazy at all. I bought it (well maybe that doesn't disprove the crazy:) 3) Unity uses C# not C++, and if you have learned the fundamentals of programming C# in my opinion is very easy to pick up. 4) I'm not a mac person either, but Unity is now available for PC @chaman 1) I do agree with you on system crashes, I have had a few of those. 2) They give away almost everything a person starting out needs with Unity.
