Crotaro, do gaming w Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core looks like a tougher, action-minded co-op dig

I hear a rock, I yell a stone!

This is great news and I’m incredibly looking forward to the release. GSG have my trust when it comes to doing Early Access right.

First game was super fun so look forward to the sequel.

Meanwhile the original game is stuck with rockpox for 8 more months.

I do not enjoy the rockpox.

Zaniad,

GSG_Jacob on Reddit stated “I’m definitely on Team End Season 4, myself. We’re still discussing how to approach this internally.” This statement was in response to a redditor expressing hope season 4 could be ended early or that rock pox could be confined to a single area.

Seems like the rock pox issue should be solved earlier than 8 more months.

Companies need to learn that you can rollback policies, but you cannot rollback loss of goodwill.

Too bad modern capitalism is all about short-term profit over long-term anything. Who cares if you burn down the forest as long as you can walk away with the wood, right?

So true!

Karak,

Was there even any short-term gain this time? Next company to try this will probably give much less notice if legally allowed.

Positive to come from this might be companies going with their own internal engine if they have the resources to do so.

Why wiuld any companies trust them at this point…bail, let unity die and set a precedent to other engines to not fuck with the companies that make the products.

I just wish collectively humanity could do the same for these multi billionaire companies who will kill you to make 10 cents profit.

Why don’t they change the focus of the group to another engine?

Their official statement says they are creating another group (without Unity in the name) that will cover any game engines. Which they specifically mentioned Unity, Unreal, and Godot.

InfiniteLoop, do games w Unity makes major changes to controversial install-fee program ...😑

fair changes, but the ONLY way forward is to fire riccitello. i don’t see how anyone can trust them again until that happens.

removal of the retroactivity piece will likely appease a large number of devs tho (dunno if it’ll be the majority but that was the biggest wtf for me)

PlushySD,

As that’s what I want to see also. But Spez is still Reddit CEO, Bobby Kotik is still Blizzard’s CEO… I guess Riccitello will stay there for a while

Far too little, far too late. Even if this was the most glowing revision ever (it isn’t, but even if it was), the trust is gone.

I know I won’t be using it. There is no guarantee that they won’t do something similar in the future.

gravitas_deficiency,

And therein lies the rub.

They’ve proven they can’t be trusted. The people who devised and attempted to enact this plan - the exec team - have not gone anywhere, and they aren’t going to. They have shown the industry who they are, and they clearly don’t give a shit about business ethics or even legality (the AppLovin shit smells an awful fucking lot like anticompetitive market interference). They will definitely try something similar in the future.

PlushySD,

They can just creep up the fee bit by bit and they can say, hey it’s not as bad as that runtime fee we announced in 2023

DreamySweet,
@DreamySweet@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Not just that but what other new fee will they create and force on developers out of nowhere?

“Okay, okay… Let’s admit that our old idea of pi**ing all over your heads may have gone a little too far…

So, here’s the deal. We will pi** a bit on your left shoulder …BUT! But, but, but… It will be UPWIND!! SEE!? Upwind!!

So basically, you’ll be missed most of the times! Basically like never get hit at all!” 👍

Don’t worry, 90% of our users won’t have to pay anything at all! Just ignore that like 50% are people who downloaded Unity to mess around for a bit and never made anything other than a “hello world” or similar.

Pika,

way more than 50% lol

DreamySweet,
@DreamySweet@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I was going to say 89% but there’s a lot of asset flips on Steam.

thrakkerzog,

I’ve pooped in your soup and removed the poop when you got angry. You’re still gonna eat the soup, right?

simonced, (edited ) do games w Unity makes major changes to controversial install-fee program ...😑

Just the fact that they’ll spy on me when I install a game, makes me want to avoid buying unity games forward.

In fact, they certainly already have some analytics, so yeah, I’ll avoid unity for my games from now on…
