Volte posted:My guess is that it will use the same sense of "install" as any other per-seat licensing, in that it'll be based on some kind of system ID and re-installing it over and over on the same system won't register as a new installation unless you majorly change the hardware. But that doesn't mean it's not a deranged system devoid of forethought and easily exploitable given a strong enough will to do so. I mean generally speaking people are trying not to invalidate their seat license in situations like this. I don't think the system is conceptually particularly bulletproof against people purposefully spoofing their MAC address to force a new license or whatever. there's plenty of prior art in deliberately changing hardware-bound identifiers in the field of cheating, to get around HWID bans

You'll observe in this image that Gordon Freeman appears to have his back turned from the viewer, his face obscured. Despite what you may initially believe, he is not facing backwards, he is facing forwards, towards the future, Half Life 3 confirmed.

Just don't distribute games as installers. Distribute them as archives.

It's okay, developers can earn credits towards these fees by integrating additional Unity monetization services into their games. No one will ever have to worry about this because there will be enough ads in Unity games going forward to cover all the fees

Begemot posted:https://twitter.com/stephentotilo/status/1701679722873127404 Look, Unity is just trying to stir nostalgia for the days of old by once again making the sane path to be buying a game, not installing it, then pirating it to play it.

ImpAtom posted:If you pirate the game would that count towards installs? The Tweet that Barry Convex posted alleges "regardless of how that copy was obtained", but yea I'm not entirely sure how that'd work. Even as someone who just casually dabbles in game dev and will probably never ever sell anything, this makes me want to finally learn Unreal instead out of principle.
