Thanks. Just read this too. https://www.uploadvr.com/meta-funding-godot-engine-openxr-quest-improvements/
Encouraging as I really do not like Unity from the day I started using it to present (4 years). I thought it was hard as I was a newbie, but I have come to realize that the engine is such a mess and the company is lazy AF when it comes to meaningful improvements to make developers lives easier. It is clear they themselves do not use it on the daily.
I am going to give them a lot of money in the long run so I expect better. Maybe not as there is no guarantee, but at least some will so why they acting like a shit business partner while still taking their cut.
I way rather support an Open Source project as I do for nearly everything else I use to develop my app. I hope I can move in the next 1-2 years as it matures in the VR/AR space.
The final nail in the Unity coffin for me was when few years ago, they announced discontinuation of several of their features, like MP, fired hundreds of employees, and bought a new company that's focused on monetization of games and ads.
That's a pretty clear message about their intentions and area of focus. No thank you.
