      Unity is an application to spy on users and show them ads. Often there is some sort of game involved, but I think that is just coincidence.

        Kerbal Space Program, an awesome game that simulates the construction of space vehicles and the physics of an entire solar system hyper-realistically, was developed in Unity. I am waiting on their dev team’s word on this.
