Roughly 1,800 people are being put out of work, but hey, at least the share price is going up.

Man, I'm already annoyed by every other game looking like Unreal. While the Unity style is also boring me out of my mind, having Unity commit seppuku does not help.

It absolutely does. Godot is growing a LOT. I see it frequently in my local game dev community.

I mean, yeah. At this rate, I expect Unreal to have close to a monopoly in a few years, when it comes to bigger, published games. And it's required by law that monopolies turn into trash cans. Young devs will choose Godot rather than the trash can and at some point, we may come to a better duopoly than we have today. But it's going to take a decade or more for that. I guess, I'm just tired...
