Hm? Why 11.000 bucks there? Unity Indie costs $199. How can that be much for such an engine?
Well those discussions lead to nothing anywhere, especially not if people didn't really tested Unity. I just "checked" it out one year before i bought it. I didn't like it much back there. So this year i re-tested it again, but with more details. Now i'm addicted to it.
I see no problem in using Unity Indie and make professional, commercial games with it. Many does. Especially with the iPhone License (which i got now too, just waiting for my iPhone to arrive).
