d3Xt3r,

Unity Technologies, known for its Unity game engine, has been facing severe backlash for its recent decisions. Unity adjusted its fee structure, now charging game developers per install with retroactive terms of service changes. This move is expected to negatively impact numerous game projects. In addition, Unity removed their transparency GitHub repo and reversed previous community-centric commitments, leading to widespread industry anger. The CEO’s past decisions to maximize revenue raise eyebrows. Unity rejected a $20 billion acquisition offer from AppLovin in favor of a $4.4 billion merger with Iron Source, a mobile game development monetization company. Tomar Bar Ziv, CEO of Iron Source and a Unity board member, has notably sold around $20 million in Unity stock following the merger. Recent aggressive pricing models seem to mirror those adopted by Twitter and Reddit. Unity’s shift seems aimed at promoting Iron Source’s Level Play service and could significantly harm developers, especially in the mobile sector. Companies like Azur, Voodoo, and Century Games have retaliated by disabling Unity and Iron Source ad monetization. Unity’s recent closure of two offices due to threats from its own employee underscores the depth of its internal and external crises.

Lucidlethargy,

This is like when you search Google for a simple thing, like a shortcut key for a program, and all you get back is dozens of videos.

Like, oh man, no. Not a chance. Gatta redo this serious search now with -video, I guess…

TL;DW?

Tibert,

Nothing “new” that hasn’t been shared already :

  • Unity top leaders selling stock before the announcement
  • they proposing “special” deal to not get the per install fee applied if the devs opt in to use only Unity’s advertising plaform in order to kill competition.
  • Unity getting death threats from employees.
turtlepower,

I can’t wait till the threats turn into promises. I’m so sick and fucking tired of the “elites” getting away with doing whatever they want. I’m hungry; let’s eat.

Threats of violence against low level peons aren’t threats we should be encouraging

Indeed, and a lot of those low level peons think this new pricing structure is awful, but are being ignored by upper management.

turtlepower,

Who the fuck threatened low level peons? I’m saying EAT THE RICH. You know the CEO fucks that are doing this shit? Learn to read.

starman2112,
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

The real people actually doing the threatening were threatening offices staffed by low level peons

Unity getting death threats from employees

If it’s own employees are giving death threats, chances are high that it’s aiming up. Unless their CEO is threatening to kill those below him to save a buck?

Not really a game for me, but it does look very silly and fun.

I got the game for free and it’s a really good time. It’s crashed more than I would expect. I’m playing with keyboard and mouse

The story is fantastic

Mario fans, me included, been eating good this direct. If only we’ll ever get a permanent release of mario 35, that would be the happiest day for me.

Also this rpgs look interesting. I’ll keep an eye out for them.

The splatoon dlc looks promising as well. Can’t wait for it.

Lol rip you dummies who bought an EA game

People got it for free buying Ryzen 7000 CPU’s

That’s, like, the opposite of a prize at the bottom of a cereal box…

riesendulli, (edited )

Welp, I didn’t say it was a good deal. Nonetheless it’s a better deal then getting ow2 coins for buying rtx 4000 gpus. And some later buyers got Diablo 4…

ProvableGecko,

HAHA suck it I’m getting Starfield!

Oh wait

So many flavours of triple A schlock

Molecular0079,

Man Starfield’s nowhere near as bad as Jedi Survivor, let’s be honest. At least it runs well on my Steam Deck and doesn’t stutter every 3 seconds like it does in Koboh in Jedi Survivor.

The sad part of the story is that, thousands of people were scammed on the kickstarter site on hundreds of projects, thousands are still throwing their money at them and the site is still standing.

Apparently the game still stutters internally even if the frame times are perfect?? I can’t even imagine how they can fuck up that bad

I’m not doubting this for a second, but the latest patch made the PS5 performance significantly better

Not coming to PC :/

Ashtear,

Yeah, Vanillaware is one of the few remaining Japanese third-party devs to hold out on the PC market. The Japanese PC market is growing rapidly though, so hopefully we’ll see it later.

Then again, we were saying the same thing two years ago with 13 Sentinels.

Unicorn Overlord sounds like trying to appeal to two wildly disparate groups at the same time tbh 😅

I really, really hate this trend of not localizing titles that presumably sound cool in Japanese, but are just like ??? in English. Various Daylife is the worst offender I’ve seen so far 💀

Viking_Hippie,

Various Daylife?? 🤣

Carighan,
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

Should localize them by using the Japanese title translation so it sound equally “foreign awesome” in English? ユニコーンオーバーロード is what Google Translate outputs and hey I will say, it immediately looks less silly to me, despite actually saying the exact same words. 😑 (I hate that this actually works)

TwilightVulpine,

Usually what some localizers do is change it to German or French instead.

all-knight-party,
@all-knight-party@kbin.cafe avatar

Hey, don't conflate those two, Unicorn Overlord sounds fucking awesome when you say it aloud, whereas Various Daylife is just as confusing, but instead seems downright pedestrian and boring in comparison.

@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

I want to play a game of Dungeon Keeper now where the “good” side has gone wicked from repeatedly being beaten and goes wild building up their own horrific “utopia” and attacking everyone else.

Then again, they’d just build Florida I suppose. 🤔 and ban books in schools and shit.

I like the mechanic of needing two players to operate the heavier weapons effectively.

The assisted reload was also in the first game (notably for the recoilless rifle also featured here) and requires a great deal of coordination. A great co-op mechanic with high rewards when playing it right.

olmec, do games w Princess Peach: Showtime! | Nintendo Direct 9.14.2023

I don’t know how to feel. The game seems like a Paper Mario Game, but you do a transformation and play a minigame instead of battles. Unless the minigames get way more complex, I don’t really see the appeal.

To be fair, maybe the appeal is just getting to see Peach in new outfits. I love that detective and chef outfit.
