Comment on Unity U-turns on controversial runtime fee and begs forgiveness

Hardly a U-Turn. If a developer uses Unity's latest LTE version, then they would be subject to the runtime fees. So developers still must migrate off Unity, but have a little more time to do so.

Not true.
And it’s now fee or revenue share of 2,5%.
But yes, everyone should still move on as fast as possible (at least it removes the pressure of bankrupcy) as the trust is broken and they can do similar change anytime in the future.

Could you imagine adobe pulling of shit like this? Yeah, the first 20000 views of your photo is free but after that there’s a 2.5% fee.
Fuck off. You’re a content (be it games or something else) creation tool. You’re business is pencils, paint, canvas. Or in the case of unity an IDE. Not the art created with it.
It’s a stupid idea thought up by stupid people. Everyone in the boardroom at unity should be fired. One of them thought it up, the others thought it a good idea also or where too afraid to speak up. Both of those options mean bad management.
But I think it’s too late, the name is tarnished.

If Adobe thought they could get away with it then 100% do this.

Completely off topic, but they kind of did. Their AI image generation as part of CC suite will require tokens now.

Because you’re using up process of resources. As far as I understand it the image generation happens on their servers not on your computer so that makes sense.

Look at you thinking that your pointless nitpicking contributes anything meaningful to the conversation.
