A similar statement was issued by the publisher Devolver Digital. In a post on the social media site formerly known as Twitter, the company advised developers to mention the engine they use when presenting the title. While this isn’t explicitly mentioned, it seems that it could have an impact on whether the company will be interested in publishing games created in Unity in the future.
When suggesting games, be sure to specify which engine you are using.
It’s important information!
