This is the second time they’ve said they won’t force you into new terms, why is this time any different to think they won’t try more again in future? I think game developers have every right to continue to be concerned given how this all unfolded. @gamingonlinux "sorry we tried to alter the deal. we totally won't alter it further." @gamingonlinux From here, they can just gradually walk things back towards what they originally announced. @gamingonlinux Now that there is a friendly deal in place people will defend Unity and fight amongst themselves, it was obvious what was going to happen @gamingonlinux I don't think they'll try the retroactive BS again because I honestly don't think that'll pass legal muster in most jurisdictions, but I expect them to otherwise inch back towards what they want. I do think this will help projects currently in the works, but I still wouldn't recommend Unity for new projects anymore. @gamingonlinux Yeah I think they’ve permanently damaged trust in the community over this one. I think the amended deal they put on the table is quite a lot better, but it doesn’t change the fact that they basically tried to stab developers in the back and hope nobody would notice. I strongly suspect we are going to start seeing more studios switch to Godot, Unreal, or MonoGame from this. @gamingonlinux Personally I can't help feeling this was all a big corporate game to make money off shorting their own stock at the expense of everything and everyone else. Feels overly conspirical (not a word😂) and cynical of me but hey it's not like we live in that type of world......oh..... @gamingonlinux It seems like someone missed the point entirely 😂 @gamingonlinux A lot of takes like this are so weird to read. "Wow they nailed it, they're now only gonna fart in our mouths instead of shitting, incredible -- anyone who lives in fear of any other outcome is unreasonable and a cult" Why is it unreasonable to be upset at end-all corporate greed jeopardizing the livelihood of people, and realizing that this is a trend and that shit won't just fix itself by hoping really hard? Are boot soles _that_ delicious? @gamingonlinux Serial engine switcher George Broussard doesn't understand devs that confirm their plans to switch engines. Huh. @gamingonlinux "I have altered the deal. Pray that I do not alter it further." @gamingonlinux yeah, the engine that is pushed heavily in schools and academia is making anti-consumer moves (no surprise there). Hailing Unity's temporarily backtrack as a win is pure ignorance. Adobe did the same moves, Autodesk made them as well. Didn't turn out well for either market. @gamingonlinux "self report" absolutely means their lawyers will be breathing down your neck the moment they smell money. @gamingonlinux I think does not fix untiy money leaking problem for a profit with shareholders, that must be stressing him get more money on there investment, but the damage is done, may see more and more devs just not use untiy anymore, for any future projects. @gamingonlinux I'm still going to complain, because Unity still is scummy and really hasn't walked back the bigger problem. It's still there and waiting to get you when you look away for a second. @gamingonlinux The fact that there is zero change in leadership shows they’ve learned nothing. Same chemicals in, why would anyone expect a different reaction down the line? They’ll absolutely try this again, but much slower going forward. @gamingonlinux To be completely fair, "those who don't use the engine" is about to be a much larger group, so there may be some truth there. @gamingonlinux tbh what are we expecting from someone shelling out money to X? @gamingonlinux @gamingonlinux this sure is a huge relief for devs whose games are releasing very soon. Switching engines this late would not only massively delay the release but also cause financial loss. But I doubt they will continue using unity for new projects. The trust is irrevocably broken now. @gamingonlinux lol. I still boycott Xbox after Microsoft tried to add drm on the hardware. So I say it's fine to continue to be angry at Unity @gamingonlinux @gamingonlinux i don't understand a single word of what he is saying but he needs a brick falling on his head. |
@gamingonlinux it's george broussard, not surprised. that dude has the worst takes
