Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen BB Wolf for clue delivery! CTOnews.com September 22 news, Unity engine recently announced a new Unity charging model, from January 1, 2024 will be based on the installation of the game to introduce a new charging benchmark, this move caused widespread controversy in the industry.

At the same time, Unity engine competitor, open source game engine project Godot popularity is also soaring, GitHub has more than 74,000 stars.

▲ Source GitHub Star History However, Wang Zhe, founder of Cocos Engine, also a competitor of game engine, has different views on this data.

In response to netizens 'comments that "Godot has more than 6W Stars on Github, why can Cocos do it?" Wang Zhe said: "We recently analyzed Godot's operation data and basically concluded that Godot's GitHub Stars, Discord Members and Twitter Followers' data were all brushed by the water army. "

Wang Zhe also said that "although it doesn't cost much, it is easy to confuse normal operation data," CTOnews.com attached the full text as follows:

We recently analyzed godot's operating data and basically concluded that godot's GitHub stars, discord members, and Twitter followers were all spammed. And I know exactly which companies can provide this kind of service. In the early years, these companies took the list of blockchain projects and swiped github and twitter. This year, they basically took the list of AI companies. Otherwise, how do you think those AI direction new open source projects are pulled up in a straight line?

I'm just very, very, very reluctant to do this. Although it doesn't cost much, it's easy to confuse normal operation data. Whether the engine is doing well or not is not clear to myself in the end. It's easy for the R & D team to indulge in false prosperity. But if we have to drive out the good coins like this, I'll make the Cocos warehouse have hundreds of thousands of stars next week, which is a matter of minutes. Does it really make sense?

Wang Zhe also said: "Our goal is not to become China's Unity replacement, but to become the world's Cocos. "

CTOnews.com query found that the Cocos engine's GitHub project library currently has only 17,500 Stars, and it is cocos2d-x for 2D games. Cocos is also expanding its 3D engine, becoming the first 3D engine in the world to support OpenHarmony earlier this year.
