I’d be down.

Alternative title: Unity about to get sued into settlement or bankruptcy due to legal fees by Nintendo, Sony, and a bunch of others over unilaterally announced installation fee.

Well, nice knowing you unity…

Seems weird with how friendly Unreal and Godots deals are

You’d think they would be competing with that

conorab, 2 lata temu do pcgaming w Unity will start charging developers each time their game is installed

I’m surprised it’s not per-seat or per-user. Not like the dev is getting more money if the user re-installs the game. Also not a fan of it being monthly. I get why you would charge twice if the user installs it twice since you may not be able to track concurrent installs without DRM, but that should only apply if you choose a per-install licence. Per-install also opens you up to malicious users installing/uninstalling to make you pay.

There should be a per-seat/per-user perpetual price if the dev never updates the Unity engine itself. I get charging per-seat/per-user monthly if they devs are pulling in new versions, but that should stop if you cease updating.

Came here after a friend linked me to this: twitter.com/stephentotilo/…/1701679721027633280

WTF. Luckily it isn’t an issue for me right now, but I guess I won’t be using Unity in future like I once thought I might.

I couldn’t find it in the article, but I assume this is only going forward and not somehow retroactive? Lots of amazing indie titles I’ve played run on Unity.

Jakeroxs, 2 lata temu

It is just going forward starting Jan 1 I think

LostWon, 2 lata temu

If so, at least anyone whose project was completed beforehand can be grandfathered out of the new arrangement.

That really sucks for new projects, though. A few months is not going to be enough time for a lot of projects out there.

dandi8, 2 lata temu

AFAIK this applies retroactively.

A few cents of 0 downloads is $0 lolololololol

Also, I don’t expect a unilateral and very one-sided payment and service contract modification is going to stand up in court.

ono, 2 lata temu do pcgaming w Unity will start charging developers each time their game is installed

I look forward to the incoming crop of games made with Godot.

RIP Unity. First they partnered with Ironsource. Who are the people behind InstallCore it’s a wrapper for bundling software installations. It tricks people into installing enough browser toolbars and other bloat to hurt their PCs. Windows Defender and MalwareBytes blocks it. Now Unity does this shit.

Brasidas, 2 lata temu do gaming w 'Half-Life 2' is getting an unofficial RTX remaster

Looks very cool from the teaser! Funny how the remix looks like I remember the original looking at the time it was released haha.

PonyOfWar, 2 lata temu do gaming w 'Half-Life 2' is getting an unofficial RTX remaster

Looks great, but I’m skeptical if it’ll ever see an actual release. Remastering the entire game with the kind of asset quality we see for this single room would require an enormous amount of time and effort, especially with people working for free.

GammaGames, 2 lata temu

Sounds like they’re using AI to help:

the modders are also using an early version of RTX Remix to add extra model detail (through Valve’s Hammer editor) and rework materials with physical-based rendering properties.

I’m curious how much effort the tools remove

cnnrduncan, 2 lata temu

You’d be shocked at the work modders are willing to put in for free when working on a game that they love - and Half Life is a series that a lot of people absolutely adore!

HidingCat, 2 lata temu do gaming w The cozy cat game that escaped from Valve

I tried the demo, but it suffers from the same issue that tight urban 3rd person view games have: A camera that jumps a lot when swinging it around due to obstacles and walls.

Computerchairgeneral, 2 lata temu do gaming w The cozy cat game that escaped from Valve

I enjoyed the demo they put out for this, definitely nailed the cozy exploration aspect. Looking forward to picking it up when it launches.
