Also this unity thing is wild. So many great games in Unity that I hope will not be affected. I really hope they backtrack completely because this is boneheaded.

it seems so ill-conceived and poorly received that it's hard to imagine them not walking it back

it's one thing to have an obviously terrible new licensing agreement put in place, but it's quite another to have one where it becomes glaringly obvious that there was zero thought put into the ramifications of it for anything other than F2P mobile games and you're just calvinballing "clarifications" onto twitter to try and calm the furor

I will always remember that clip from Riticello talking about microtransactions where he basically says 'In the heat of battle in a call of duty players will not care that they have to pay for a clip, they will want to get right back to the action' and feeling so completely mindblown. Paying for individual bullets probably was a strategy he was trying to enact at some point before being canned. Just a ludicrous business.

From now on there will be a 20c per post charge. Sorry, this is just good business sense. Posts previous to this announcement will not be affected but any empty quoting of posts before from this point on will have the tax levi. There is also no limit to the charges brought by empty quoting. :colbert:

Like, this thing makes it the most logical action for an indie dev to completely remove a game from Steam etc after sales drop off, so users can’t even install the game anymore.

Apparently there's enough language in the ToS as it was about introducing new fees at any time that they're weaseling it in but yeah the metrics they're using are so black box by their own admission I'd like to see them defend it in court

Unity: No, we're going to charge the company that distributes the runtime for you, so it'd be on the storefront.
Valve, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo: gently caress that, we're just not going to accept Unity games anymore

that dude apparently dumped 2k worth of stock before the announcement, so it might be sooner than you think if the SEC's eyebrows get sufficiently raised

Unity stock is so garbo that 2000 shares is only about $80,000. He probably had to go to target or something.



Also I realized that the game I do hobby dev on to support makes less than 40 grand a year lol. crisis averted

Big fan of the phrasing "demos mostly won't trigger fees." What does "mostly" mean? Who knows!

1. Is the demo mad popular?
2. Is it from a sequel that was mad popular?

If either 1 or 2, KER CHING!
