Man, I hope the lawyers at the Big Three are getting ready to send Christmas cards to Riccitielo cause, uh, he's pretty much going to be signing their paychecks if he keeps going

Does this include Valve? I imagine that Valve is a huge part of Unity's sales...

Does Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony know?

I really hope they try this.

Because it would be hilarious to see all the platforms say fuck it and ban Unity games over this ridiculous cash grab they're very obviously not entitled to.

Unity is so ubiquitous that it would have unimaginable consequences.
For example, 90% of vr games are made in Unity. So that's one segment of gaming completely wiped off the map.

Things are not much better in desktop and mobile gaming either, as Unity has close to 50% market share.
It would be a literal Thanos snap.

yeah the console manufacturers are just gonna say “no, we don’t owe you anything, we have never dealt with you before. Sue us”

I wonder what work Unity is living in. Must be nice to pretend you could get anyone to just pay whatever fee you make up.

Makes sense hosting could be standard 25% revenue share 45% if your game is based on unity

I've tried parsing this sentence 3 times and failed. Could someone help out and add/fix whatever words and punctuation are broken here?

Devs pay Sony Microsoft etc 25% of the price paid for the game. Unless it’s unity, then it’s 45%.

Makes sense; hosting someone else’s game could be a standard 25% revenue share, but then 45% if your game is based on Unity.

Jesus. This is just a circus of incompetence. Doesn't matter who is footing the bill. If you push the bill on the distributor/install service it means those streams will be less likely to embrace indie devs and especially new indie devs without a hit under their belt. So same chilling result.

Did they not learn from watching Sony delist Cyberpunk after CD Projekt Red told consumers that Sony would give them a refund?

The answer seems to be no. I'm anticipating Sony, MS, and Nintendo's response on this. Did they even know about it? I'm very curious to see how this pans out because at this viewpoint it seems like an entire shit show.
