It'll be interesting to see which Windows developers might start using Unity as their developing tool of choice. Could be good for us... and them.

A little company called EA already has bought licenses and is working on a MMO. Cartoon Network, etc.

Which also got me to thinking ... why did DICE and EA not choose Unity for their (PC-only) browser based MMO Battlefield Heroes? Given a small team of say 3–5 good people (artist, programmer, sound, etc) you could easily recreate the basics of that game in a month, and have it fully done in not much more than that ... plus have the added benefit of being fully cross-platform.

Well, there's your problem... much too fast of a development cycle for them! ;)

What is strange is that Playnet registreated the name Unity 3D already in 2000, or was it 1999.

Unity 3D® is the graphic engine that runs in World War II Online: Battleground Europe.
