There's a chance you missed the news that Unity's basic mobile licenses went free earlier this week, what with the Xbox One reveal taking up all the video game headlines. Well, OK, not that much of a chance — it's huge news after all, essentially allowing anyone to pick up a copy of the Unity development tools for free, create a game for mobile, and get it onto the App Store or Google Play store. Unity CEO David Helgason tells me that his company can afford to make this move on the basis that those developers who are successful through the publishing of a Unity-based game may then go on to invest in Unity's further assets.
