    Theres been some confusion recently with W4 games and godot. Essentially some people who run godot made a company called W4 games to handle things such as console ports that godot itself cant do due to being open source. W4 games raised 8.5 million dollars from investors https://w4games.com/2022/09/13/w4-games-raises-8-5-million-to-support-godot-engine-growth/ and recently godot has created a blog post saying they need more funding https://godotengine.org/article/funding-breakdown-and-hiring-process/ .

    One of the arguments thats been going around is why is godot saying theyre going to scale back development and say they have lack of funding when W4 just got a big investment. The thing is though that the two entities are separate and have separate income and goals

    Heres some points people have made for and against this
