    Their move from 1.x to 2.0 pissed a lot of people, because suddenly all the perpetual licenses were stuck with the now discontinued 1.x version, while 2.x is subscription only.

    The free/demo version lets you use the whole program and all features EXCEPT export. So you have the option of only subscribing when you actually have finished your game and cancel afterwards.

    Same level of rendering technology. Harfang's LGPL license is a bit less permissive than Godot's MIT, though, but it remains a viable alternative.
