  1. 7:25 That's why I don't like using game engines. I can get started easily, but I have to learn a lot of features, most of them more complex than they need to be for my use case, and not as flexible. I prefer the idea of reusable libraries. I can easily remove one library and use a different one instead.

  2.  @hannessteffenhagen61  Unity doesn't seem like it's aimed at professionals. The benefit is, you can also get something done yourself, if you don't know that much about the project. And even in Engines, you still need a lot of programming for the actual game logic. You just don't need to know how to do some basic things like math, physics, rendering, audio, asset loading. But when not using engines, you also just need to use some libraries, which already exist. You just have to decide for some, and maybe they don't work together well because the physics lib uses different vector types than the rendering lib, but getting something almost as good as an engine shouldn't be too difficult.
