I have been coming across the subject of dependency injection for years, and never got myself to understand that concept or its usage. You've cleared so much up in so little time, thank you for the great content!

Fantastic video. Came to this from your Zenject series. Thanks for explaining everything so well!

I've recently started using dependency injection frameworks in the games I make.
I've just touched the surface, but *OH MAN do I like it so far*

DI was something I always had to scratch my head with and I know you covered a couple of DI demonstrations prior....but I do appreciate taking the extra mile to dumb it down for dummies like me.

Thank you a lot for all of the free content you provide. You give really clear explanations, it help a lot.

monobehaviours have constructors by the way, like any class in c#

So I understand classes handling their own dependencies and dependency injection. What I am still confused about is why you would want to inject your dependency? Why is it beneficial to do this? It seems like a hassle to use an outside source to handle a class's dependency when the class could handle that. Also if a class handles its own dependencies the visibility of the dependency is right there. It would seem as though with dependency injection the fact that the class has a dependency would be hidden from you?

Using Unity isn't really a reason not to know what a constructor is. Sooner or later you NEED to have non-monobehaviour classes.
