how does unity know it's being installed is it reporting back to some central server? If I have my wifi off and install a unity game and then turn the wifi back on how would they know

that uses downloading and installing interchangeably in a way that doesn't really make sense to me I'm just confused as hell as to where the reporting is happening is it when I click "download" on steam (which is fine... I guess? Why would the stores report this... and who is going to handle reporting that? Is each store going to have to expose that data to unity?) or when the game installer actually initializes on my machine, is it firing off a message to unity that I've installed the game (not cool, I didn't agree to that, unity, you fucker) or is it when I first open the game the unity player fires off a message and then stores some garbage data on my machine that it did an install check and doesn't have to do it again, littering my local filesystem with their trash

christ what if I just move the install location to a different drive or folder depending on how they're tracking it, that'd be enough to trigger a re-charge and if it's not tracked locally that means it has to be sending some sort of machine/identity info to stop it from triggering the charge over and over so it's definitely something install side that says "don't flag this again" which means you can just clear that over and over and retrigger it on every boot

I feel like this new Unity fee scheme is inherently incompatible with the concept of free/freemium games.my bony fealty posted:This and that terrible dragon song are the complete opposite of what the game is like Wrong. It is about hope and the spirit of exploration. When I play the game "Starfield" I am constantly smiling, joy in my eyes as I explore my surroundings like a newborn infant.

i don't know anything about making video games but it was really funny that disco elysium seemed to be one of the most computationally intensive games of 2019 based on my computer's fan speed. that unity logo comes up and it's like a jet is taking off

jesus christ if you're an indie studio that already made the bulk of your money and reinvested it into your next game, Unity will bankrupt you instead

Hatebag posted:that's pretty much the rich guy plan right now. a bunch of pedophiles who want to live forever imagining they'll get to escape the destruction of the earth and become cybergods in space Basically the one saving grace about this stuff is that rich people don't really have any understanding of science/technology and what's reasonably possible, so they'll just keep wasting money on stuff indefinitely and will never actually be able to do things like flee the Earth into space.

I mean based on the stock sell-off and how loving bad this seems I can only assume the guy in charge of Unity is involved in a Hudsucker Proxy type scam where he needs to drive the value down
