You know what, that’s fair.
I saw a lot of discussion in the comments about their workers pay, but honestly, they make a great product. Wouldn’t wanna be counting pennies in someone elses pockets. I donated a one time 25 bucks, I hope they will continue to ask for donations whenever they are in dire need of server running money.
Troll post or shill, same account recently asked “why do people dislike google, they’re only doing legal data saving for stuff you search” and then ignored every bit of legitimate croticism that was handed to them.
Makes no sense to interact with such an account.
Wouldn’t be surprised if mod tools never come at all.
If there’s one thing I learned, it’s that gaming companies will promise you anything to get on your good side. Take statements like these with the biggest grain of salt.
They can control your watch time better if you make less decisions. Just be a good little brainless consumer and scroll through endless amounts of bullshit instead of specifically finding one video, then doing something else.
It started with autoplay, wormed it’s way into search feature, and now it’s all over home and subscriptions.
“If you are using an iFrame to display a site that isn’t yours, even for legitimate purposes, you have no control over that content—it can change at any time,” Simmons warns. “One day instead of looking into an iFrame, you might be looking at an entirely different kind of portal.”
Holy shit this guy is amazing.
I get it though. People trying to monetize your work which was purposely hosted for free without ads would drive me mad too.
I recently watched the documentary this article talks about on why Gollum had to fail the way it did. It was a very informative piece, questioning a lot of the devs and the company in question, and receiving in-depth answers from them (sometimes anonymous).
It boiled down to exactly what you would expect. Overworked developers and artists, who regularly were subjected to crunch, while also being criminally underpaid (some of them even weren’t considered real employees and just voluntary interns, so the company could dodge german minimum wage).
None of them made a bad videogame on purpose, they were just insanely underfunded, not experienced enough in this new genre and the new engine and on top of that, the rights to the LotR IP were time-limited, so they had to release it sooner or later.
The “apology” that was tweeted out, was actually sent out without any of the devs input or knowledge, by their parent company “nacon”. And yes, ChatGPT was likely used for it.
Yea, they are useless when being changed at will, but what if the TOS specifically said “You can disregard future TOS versions and still abide by this old one under certain circumstances” ?
You would still be complying with the Terms of Service, by not honoring the new Terms of Service.
Obviously, this is still a terrible situation regardless, but I am thinking about if the old TOS won’t give already released games a way out of this BS, or even better, may keep a usable Unity version alive for the future. Long term obviously, as many people as possible should ditch unity entirely, but for right now, it looks like a lot of developers will have big trouble starting in just 3 months.
I think the worst part of it all is the trust that is irrevocably broken now.
This is obviously a moronic scummy decision driven by greed, but it also goes directly against past decisions. As per this reddit post, Unity actually had a TOS in action that protected Developers against retroactive changes like this. Specifically, it stated that you could choose to continue using old versions of the engine and comply to the old TOS if an update to the TOS that you disagree with ever happened. This specific part of the TOS was deleted last year.
If they actually try to enforce this new crap on already released games (that accepted an older version of the TOS) then it would seem blatantly illegal (I’m not a lawyer though).
Even if they revert everything by tomorrow, the whole fiasco still shows where Unity’s current interests are, and make the company a liability to deal with for any game developer.
Wasn’t sure if an anime-meme fit in here, thanks for cross-posting it instead :)
Correct!
This is more like a throwaway joke, the anime is not actually focused on city planning discussions or car-centric design.
Time to dig out the sonic shitposts.
