lol the unity saga just got exponentially funnier.

quote:

“Our terms of service provide that Unity may add or change fees at any time. We are providing more than three months advance notice of the Unity Runtime Fee before it goes into effect. Consent is not required for additional fees to take effect, and the only version of our terms is the most current version; you simply cannot choose to comply with a prior version. Further, our terms are governed by California law, notwithstanding the country of the customer. ”

That's an outstanding level of "lmao, get hosed losers" from their lawyer.

I eagerly await the 9-0 decision that "get hosed we can do whatever we want" is a perfectly cromulent legal document.

They forgot to update their TOS before updating their TOS, whoopsidoodle

This is what happens when you make decisions by doing lines of coke and just shouting out ideas.

quote:

Retroactive TOS changes

When you obtain a version of Unity, and don’t upgrade your project, we think you should be able to stick to that version of the TOS.

In practice, that is only possible if you have access to bug fixes. For this reason, we now allow users to continue to use the TOS for the same major (year-based) version number, including Long Term Stable (LTS) builds that you are using in your project.

Moving forward, we will host TOS changes on Github to give developers full transparency about what changes are happening, and when. The link is https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/TermsOfService

quite a few yeah. They're pretty popular in the non-AAA market because there (were) no royalties. Klei (Don't starve, oxygen not included) have a number of games with them, I think Among Us had something like 500m players over it's popularity cycle.

I'm not a fan of Bidenomics but they do point out that more than half of it is just migrants dumped on a bus by red state assholes. Doesn't make it less of a problem, but give credit where it's due: this Texas/Florida/etc grandstanding bullshit, not even economics per se.

if bidendident Joe presiden didn’t want to be responsible for everything he could have not run for office

he’s not powerless to stop that grandstanding, it would just require doing something which no Dem can afford

This is the Star Citizen approach to terms of service.

For the kickstarter they had a TOS that promised a complete public "dollar by dollar" financial accounting if the game were more than a year past it's 2014 release date and then when that date arrived in 2015 it was changed to say "We can literally do whatever we want as obligations never existed, Refunds are not allowed and you also can't ever sue us in a court of law as all disputes go through arbitration."

it's true, though...the city has finite resources, and the money to suddenly take of 100,000 new people needs to appear. all that money to take care of migrants, who never paid into the system and now need food, shelter, schooling, etc., is being taken from not just nypd overtime (lol so what) but also social services in general.

i've noticed that there's been more tech activity in the last handful of weeks, but 80% of my applications still get no response. it's staggering how many of those are focused on or pivoting into ai as well, it's gotta be 15-25%. the bubble is real and it's going to be catastrophic. even if some companies using it will be fine (mostly the conglomerates), a lot more people are going to be out of work within the next 6-12 months as they run out of funding or realize they wasted cash on something no one needs and need to salvage their capital.
