I still think its a terrible idea to start a new project in unity, but for developers who are too far into a project to reasonably switch without spending a lot of time or money (like Ultrakill or Silksong), this is good as it means they can finish their games without having to worry about a passive income loss which could put them out of business.

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…

“I am sorry,” Unity executive and industry veteran Marc Whitten said in the blog post.

Venat0r, do games w Oldest Unity game developer group breaks up over lack of trust in the company

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.

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.

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.

Five former Ubisoft executives have reportedly been detained for questioning by French authorities, years after they departed from the company amid widespread sexual assault allegations.

Still boycotting all Ubisoft titles. Doesn’t care how good they are. This is simply unacceptable.

I don’t feel wanting to buy any newer Ubisoft titles either.

I’m not so much boycotting them, it’s just that AC has been trash since Black Flag and we don’t have a Rayman 4 yet… so… what am I gonna buy, nothing?

sculd,

Agreed on AC but Division is a pretty fun shooter. Not playing the new one anyway.

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

Give me this.

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.

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.
