Khanstant posted:got a click bait with some bad news about the sims. the next version will be free and not replace 4 My favourite Sims fact is that actual artists and bands will re-record their songs in Simlish for the game. And if you're someone like me who doesn't play or know much about the Sims, you might be thinking I'm making that fact up No no. Actual artists and bands will re-record their songs while speaking made up gibberish. And not just indie artists and bands, but international megastars will do it https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Songs_in_Simlish https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdykyKHBqI8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxyW6AJ-yIk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyGJjOlFGrU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVAVmXgrUp4

most of the real asset flip games I'm aware of (as opposed to good games that happen to use a lot of asset store assets) seem to be streamer bait, and then idk, children or viewers of streamers that have bad taste buy them. there's a pair of brothers in japan that make these kinda crude asset flip horror games that somehow became japanese streamer + vtuber staples, and they're at the point where they can churn a new one of these out every two months https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/12139/Chillas_Art_Complete_Pack/

I think this is the main chat for the unity bullshit. So realistically, if they do go through with this, what is going to happen? Any dev's with games in the work will just have accept that they're gonna make less profit per game? (too much money at stake, can't just cut development or switch engines) Anyone with a game already out is gonna have to either take their games off or just keep it up for sale and hope they don't gt charged too much (I mean I assume they're still gonna make enough per sale to cover it, it's just gonna suck having to pay another bill) Any project that is still early on is likely to switch to a new engine/developers won't trust unity going forward (because even if they walk everything back, developers are just not gonna trust this anymore) Did I miss any realistic outcomes?

It has to be clear to developers that even if somehow this is walked back, they can't trust unity anymore so they're just gonna jump ship eventually. I'm just concerned how much impact we might see on already released games.

Ineffiable posted:Any dev's with games in the work will just have accept that they're gonna make less profit per game? (too much money at stake, can't just cut development or switch engines) Whether you can migrate your game to a new engine is a very case-specific question. If you haven't started actually producing code/content yet, migration is relatively easy. If you have 10% of a game built in Unity, you may decide it's worth it to cut your losses and start over. If you have 90% of a game built in Unity, you're probably stuck with it. quote:Anyone with a game already out is gonna have to either take their games off or just keep it up for sale and hope they don't gt charged too much (I mean I assume they're still gonna make enough per sale to cover it, it's just gonna suck having to pay another bill) Unity has at this point been forced to back down to only charging people based on installs that happen after the policy comes into effect, so it's likely (not certain) that they aren't going to suddenly send multi-hundred-thousand-dollar invoices to long-tail Unity games that got a ton of installs in say 2018 and very few today. And that's if they don't change the policy further. quote:Any project that is still early on is likely to switch to a new engine/developers won't trust unity going forward (because even if they walk everything back, developers are just not gonna trust this anymore) This is very likely. Unity as a brand is radioactive now, industry voices will tell each other to avoid it and no one who does any research will sign a new contract. The wild card option is that it goes to court, which could in theory result in Unity being ordered to never do this ever again. If that happens, and there's a complete cleanout of leadership, maybe they can start to rebuild trust.

Also I suspect some of the bigger devs and publishers will simply say "I'm not paying that" and Unity will probably back down instead of having to defend it in court

I wonder what the odds of a court case are. Probably zero if they back off, but if they dig in their heels they’re going to have to fight a tag team of Microsoft, Epic, and Valve, and, uh, good luck with THAT

like, unity has been on an obvious decline for years now, particularly since the IPO, but there's so much personal and institutional investment in unity, and pipelines built around unity assets in particular, and spaces where unity is just kind of the defacto monopoly, that most people using unity would rather build around its deficiencies than switch engines. if it actually goes through, there's going to be a lot of people doing the calculus of the cost of staying in unity vs the cost of switching, and deciding that its still cheaper to work in unity

i think the only real loss in terms of new developers to unity would be indie devs who don't want to risk getting stuck in a margin where they suddenly have to pay out the nose (e.g. the demonschool guys), but i have to imagine that's a relatively small part of unity's licensee base, and the alternatives (UE, godot, gamemaker) don't have nearly the same amount of built-up support for smaller developers in terms of tutorials, assets, etc. that unity does it's kind of like how OW2 has a lot about it that absolutely sucks, but if you want to play an arcade hero shooter then it's like, that or loving paladins

Even if they walk it all the way back to where they started they will have turned their brand radioactive to any dev.

Ineffiable posted:I think this is the main chat for the unity bullshit. The way they've handled this is incredibly scummy, but let's be real about the impact here. It's $2,000 a year for unity pro, after which anything that makes over $1,000,000 AND over 1,000,000 installs costs 2 cents per install . Spring another $1,000 a year for Unity enterprise and the fees are cut in half. If you're pulling in $200,000+ revenue on a single game you're not going to be using the free tier of Unity. Who is an extra penny per install going to hurt? edit: I misquoted the fee arrangement, my bad. Worst case scenario is an extra 12 cents per install which is obviously much higher than 1 cent but still absolutely nothing unless you're selling your games for $1-$2 and somehow also making millions of dollars on them.

You can say "its not that bad" all you want but anyone who changes the terms of the contract already signed and also tries to go retroactive with it as well cannot and should not be trusted with anything. It's a poison pill, and not one you can cough back up. It's one of those things you just don't do unless drat near 100% of your user base shrugs and goes "hahaha I mean yeah we had a pretty sweet deal before, we gotta admit." That doesn't happen, typically.
