Neither course controls for provider beyond listing Codecademy, so both come from the same platform. If you need a programme with a longer syllabus, a paid Udemy course or a university‑affiliated option may better fit your goals. The free filter is the wrong call if you want a qualification that employers widely recognise or if you prefer instructor‑led sessions over self‑paced videos. Open the Game Development Courses on Codecademy hub instead, or browse the Udemy catalogue for paid alternatives with lifetime access.
