yes a7 com is still a better choice maybe but if u compare unity free edition with lite-c edition both no cost but unity free has a lot more. but lite-c is still good you can use plugins win api etc. not bad at all. sure the render to texture feature would be great too, and some other options of a7 com and pro.but unity looks actually more professional and good documentation too. in the next weeks and moth the community will explose in count of member which brings a lot more knwoledge etc. I I'm sure conitec and other competitors (and community members) will react. this reminds me a little bit of the browser war hehe and the result is today we have good browsers so let the engine war begin hehe

It is indeed a tough situation. Unity Indie has some limitations but it also offers access to a lot of platforms. Though you can add the missing features easily through buying Shiva for only 169. That is still cheaper than competition and is almost as good as Unity Pro, works also on all these platforms plus Linux and has good editors.
T3D ist getting hot these days and C4 2.0 is coming in November with absolutely unique technology. It will be hard to follow at the same speed.

JCL wrote in this comment that there are not many users of the extra edition. So it will not affect a lot of customers. But it also tells us that the extra edition was not very attractive. The users probably switched from free Lite-C directly to the com edition. Remember, it has no shaders, just as an example. Free engines like Ogre, Irrlicht, Unity Indie have shaders. I believe that this feature is very important for beginners. This is, how they compared game engines in the past, this is, what magazines wrote about.
This step brings a bit more value to the existing Lite-C users, but it probably will not change the business of Conitec.
And it will not affect you, since most of you have higher licenses.
