Each one of these placating statements from them expressed sorrow for not listening/communicating more with their consumers, but I can’t help noticing a conspicuous lack of apology to their own employees.
Like, stop acting as if this is out of a clear blue sky and you’re simply course-correcting in good faith. Your own people told you this would happen. My trust in Unity is gone until they address this.
Short term profits making quarterly reports look better to stakeholders. Isn’t that how 80% of these bigwigs get their job in the first place? We should be calling it the Zaslav Model at this point 😂.
I agree. Once I realized the distinction, tho, I’m still happy. Having the authorization in hand when negotiating, especially after taking into account the current double strike, will presumably give them more leverage than ever. I’m cool not having any new media for a couple years if it saves the industry.
I exclusively use a VPN with everything and have done so for years. If steam has an issue, they have yet to inform me lol.
On a serious note tho, there is an issue if you use a VPN to access store prices for a country outside your own. Regional pricing means that some people game the system and Valve rightfully cares about that.
