BEYOND GAMES
Unity has been doing much more than simply providing game-making tools. The engine's many tutorials and resources offer users a chance to learn through hands-on experience, without having to pay for it. Because of that, we might even go as far as claim Unity aligns itself with the spirit of hacktivism , promoting knowledge accessibility in massive-scale.
The engine's software is also open-source, allowing people to fork (modify it to a certain degree) whenever their projects need it.
For those interested in getting serious about games as a career, there are plenty of formal learning opportunities with Unity and even certification in order to increase the individual's professional value. Parallel to that, Unity offers a grant of USD 17,000 for graduate students with game-projects that will help them start a career in the video game industry.
If that wasn’t enough, Unity has also been engaged in social causes that push for a more connected, free and tolerant world. One example of this is Unity Without Borders, that helps developers from impacted nations attend the Unity Europe Conference.
