What’s to keep someone from using a botnet to install tens or hundreds of thousands of installations?
Unity apologises.

A resounding “fuuuuuck yooouuu” from all quarters is due for this pathetic apology.

They’ve shown their hand. Damage done.

Genshin is one of the biggest games using Unity right now, and I doubt Mihoyo would want to take that risk of suddenly having to pay millions of dollars for no reason.

Giving people an exception for using their ad service shows they’re happy to apply the rules unequally. I expect a company that is a big litigation risk like mihiyo will be happily exempt from the runtime fee

I install it every 6 months or so to check if android controller support has been added. I expect many other people do the same. It’s just a drop in the bucket, but that bucket eventually fills up

From what I know, Genshin uses a highly modified Unity engine. But whether they will still be affected by this move is a huge question mark.

If it’s built off of unity then it’s built off of unity. It doesn’t matter how much you add to it. The terms still apply.

You think a Chinese company would give a single shit about this?

Unity should be cast into the dust bin of history and obsolescence. Fuck off unity. The world is moving forward to a better future without you.

It really is they looked at what Wizards of the Coast did and said, “Hold my beer.”
No one is going to trust them after this.
CopernicusQwark@kbin.social 1 year ago
That's exactly what I thought. It's like all the corporations have crossed some invisible threshold and decided that they need to burn all the bridges that got them there in the first place.

What did Wizards of the Coast did?

They tried to revoke a perpetual license.

Attempted to fuck with dungeons and dragons. Google will bring you all the wailing and gnashing of teeth, probably far more informatively than I would.

If you really cared for feedback, you would have consulted game developers and your own employees on this scheme to hear it was a bad idea.
No matter what the revised plan is (besides a total reversal), the aim here is to do the switch part of a bait-and-switch, to change the rules on people who have invested their time and experience with Unity.

My trust in companies is shattered in a big way. I don’t believe they are sincere. Words are words. Back up and roll it back. I don’t believe a single word from that apology. It’s damage control. They have no spine and will say anything to achieve a desired outcome. They’re worse than politicians
Caculon@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I look at it like this. Companies, and media frankly, are under no obligation to tell the truth. That doesn’t mean they are lying it just means if it’s more profitable to lie they will. Basically, lying is on the table and they are only interested in getting your money.
Haha@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Under no obligation??? There are laws!! If a company lie about a product outright that’s a lawsuit waiting to happen; and media? I can’t say shit about that since all they do is lie and divert your attention. We know media is owned by the 1% anyway so it’s not real media anyway

The vampire had his fangs to your neck, and you're gonna believe him when he goes "sorry, I will only feed on bloodbags from now on I swear"?

Don’t drag vampires into this! My boy Astarion tried it only once and kept his word since then!

I permabenched that guy when he pulled that shit

Direct link to the announcement here
We have heard you. We apologize for the confusion and angst the runtime fee policy we announced on Tuesday caused. We are listening, talking to our team members, community, customers, and partners, and will be making changes to the policy. We will share an update in a couple of days. Thank you for your honest and critical feedback.

For someone asking, then “apologizing”, for such ridiculous money grab figures to use Unity he should have taken off the Royal Oak (I believe it’s a steel double balance openworked ~$135,000).

Wonder if the shareholders that sold their stock shortly before the announcement of the pricing changes have bought them all back already 🥰

Or even better: buy soon to expire put options just before the announcement. 10x your money.
