Unity simply cannot stop shooting themselves in the foot, can they? Bless their hearts. (I’m a Southerner.)

Of course. The emergency damage control PR firm said so.

Isn’t it? Like the entire industry is composed of teenagers without enough life experience to see the big picture.

But then, did anyone expect Unity not to be tone deaf?

And this is why I only buy games that I can load on a PC and play without an internet connection.

That’s an interesting perspective. From my limited understanding, it might be plausible to prove in court. Could anyone be enticed to bring a RICO suit against them?

Thanks for this. It’s really interesting to read developers respond. And to watch Unity squirm.

Mares eat oats and does eat oats.

Ya gotta love when a corp realizes they’ve stepped in it and starts trying to create an escape route. I’m more than a little surprised that Unity’s board of directors haven’t taken the CEO’s head on a platter yet.

CaptObvious, rok temu do piracy w Is anyone else like 10 times more likely to play a game they pirated versus one they bought?

Simple common sense suggests that rented (subscribed) software of any kind is likely a very bad deal for the consumer. Rental where all the control rests with the publisher and not the user or creator (a la Steam) is just as bad.

Before big publishers emerged, we had exactly the try-before-you-buy situation you describe. It was called shareware. It had excellent quality control since any game that didn’t hold the player’s attention didn’t generate income. And the creator got all the revenue rather than the publisher and distributors keeping 80-90% or more.

These days, I just settle for waiting until a game appears on GOG. It’s a decent compromise.
