Comment on Unity rushes to clarify price increase plan, as game developers fume

What in the Wizards-of-the-Coast is this shit?

I actually cannot figure out where the logic is on this sort of thing (apart from CEOs having big cartoon dollar signs for eyes). You create a product, give it out for free, then get salty when people use your free product and demand payment in retrospect? And not just a ‘commercial licence’ payment, but a cut off the top of every game sold.

I can’t wait for visual effects software companies to start charging James Cameron $0.20 on every ticket sold for Avatar 3.

Or Tesla to start charging their drivers a fee anytime they use their car as a rideshare vehicle… actually I wouldn’t put that one past Emerald Boy.
