ram, 9 miesięcy temu do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of September 17th

I beat Kingdom Hearts 1 last week, so this week I’m doing Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories! I think I’m about halfway through now, just finishing floor 12 I think, but the battle’s been rough on me to say the least. I think I’m gonna need to grind up some cards and levels today to get past it.

ram, 9 miesięcy temu do gaming w Unity rushes to clarify price increase plan, as game developers fume

Unity: YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND! YOU DON’T KNOW THE FULL STORY
Devs: You’re charging us based on how many times a game gets installed and reinstalled, or opened in streaming services?
Unity: Oh so you do have the full story. What’s wrong with that?

Plainly, whoever’s at the head of this doesn’t understand developers or the industry, and is likely refusing to listen to their subordinates.

ram, 9 miesięcy temu do gaming w Unity rushes to clarify price increase plan, as game developers fume

Yup, no information on how they actually get that information. The only assumption I can make is that it’s some sort of telemetry in the installer or the engine

ram, 9 miesięcy temu do gaming w Unity rushes to clarify price increase plan, as game developers fume

I’m thinking they might addsome engine-side telemetry we don’t know about, but they’re refusing to actually say anything about how they’re tracking this.

ram, 9 miesięcy temu do gaming w Unity rushes to clarify price increase plan, as game developers fume

How does Unity track my installs?

All they’ll say is what amounts to “just trust us, it’s fiiiine”

X/Tweet/thing from Stephen Totilo

NEW - I got a major update from Unity about their new fees

• Unity “regrouped” and now says ONLY the initial installation of a game triggers a fee
• Demos mostly won’t trigger fees
• Devs not on the hook for Game Pass

This is a truly pathetic attempt to save face. Fuck Unity, its now proven definitively that they cannot be trusted for current and future projects. The only thing they’ll learn from this is to not be so loud about these sorts of changes.

This is a Lemmy instance, I’d recommend posting Lemmy-formatted links (!game@instance.xyz) here, and kbin-formatted (@instance.xyz@game) links in a kbin-hosted instance.

ram, 9 miesięcy temu do gaming w List of specific video game communities on the Threadiverse, feel free to comment with more

When I mean “specific,” I mean things like something dedicated to a certain genre, a certain video game, to gaming suggestions, to asking whether you should buy a certain game… anything that isn’t just one catch-all for any video gaming topic. So I’m not including the various !games@instance or !gaming@instance links.

I know about the following and will be adding to this list with links people comment with:

ram, 9 miesięcy temu do gaming w Final Fantasy 14: There are no plans to make it free-to-play

Good. Free trial is continuing to be all but the 3 latest expansions, and is expanding with the next expac launch. It’d be nice if I could switch my account to limited-access so I can do free trial content on my main even if my sub lapses, though.

But them being driven by subscriptions has helped them keep the game focused on player enjoyment. I hope it never goes F2P q-q
