If you're using Unity Engine (or were but already left it since the pricing), there is a list of good alternatives made by @alienmelon

So good luck, and if you know someone who also has this problem too, share it(or simply if you can)

Unrelated but I din't know that Blog section of Itch.io. Looks really god, you can even mention games that are gonna to appear in the end of the post. Really cool, let's see how I can use it.

I used to use Unity as an example for indie game's dependence on a single tool. As a Flash developer it seemed like a disaster waiting to happen.

I think this sums it up.

The amount of trust Unity lost is priceless. And judging by the linked article in that post, there is also rot inside the engine environment for quite a while now. People beginning to see Unity in a critical light might no longer ignore those faults. This is a downward spiral about to happen. Maybe it will survive for some consoles and mobile. Most of those alternative engines are not very friendly to export to a gaming console. Godot for instance can only export to Steam Deck and that is half a lie, because that only works, because that "console" is a linux device.
