Unity Finally Apologized...

You said it right, thats why i dont use unity for game dev, i stick with unreal or better upbge mixed with the armory engine, unity just aint it.

The Unreal CEO is prob doing great rn

GODOT! GODOT! GODOT! Always trust Argentinian products, we know genetically at this point what it is to be fucked by those above you, that's why we have a pretty unique mindset to create solutions, because that's the only thing that can save your life when you jump from crisis to crisis. We always need a cheaper alternative, so end up having to we make our own, and that's how GODOT was born: an open engine alternative for small LatAm companies that could not afford Unreal or Unity fees

I mean if they're operating in the red, I kinda don't blame them for trying to make some money. You do have to pay employees ect. I think they went about what they did poorly at first tho.

Yea well its not like im gonna be rich tbh 😂😂😂😂 and now they want more the audacity. Bye.

There were 2 apologies by 2 different people. One that was crap, and one by a person that was sincere. One seemed to be a robotic person, and one seemed to be sincere. Don’t know if it was sincere though, it did sound convincing this time.

Was about to learn Unity to build up my hobby of Animating and Creating games but, Unity turned me down. And i'm not gonna accept that apology until the CEO gets fired for making such crap.

Now, I will be installing Unreal Engine instead.

I wonder how this will handle updates. If the no-retroactive changes also allows games to update without then being subjected to new TOS then it could open a weird loophole where you could buy an older dump game and “update it” and rebrand its name from something like ‘hunting simulator’ to ‘subnautica 3’.

Lmao bro said “im sorry” 💀

I hate Unity and won’t trust them

Don't care what they say, it's too late

Can you make a video of the top 10 game engines?

It’s too late for apologies. The damage has been done. UNITY CANNOT BE TRUSTED ANYMORE. Screw Unity.

mutahar should make a game

Unity is so entitled the devs should just switch game engine. It's very hard but unity sucks so bad now and they probably still want that fee. I'd rather the money I spent on the game actually go to the devs than to Unity.

unity forgot to realize dev just wont use them

2.5% is way better than UberEATS 30-35%

We got scammed with microtransactions in unfinished games
Now we got flipped by the game engine
As a famous soldier once said in a microtransactions unfinished battle royale FPS game
"What a time to be alive"
sarcastically

This is what companies nowadays do. They take three steps forward, anger everyone, and walk one step back to calm everyone down. But they still took too steps too far that everyone gets complacent with because its better than three steps too far. Rinse and repeat the process

I never get tired of hearing how excited you are you say, It's me Mutahar at the beginning of rippin em to shreds

Just imagine paying Microsoft for developing angular apps or paying your keyboard manufacturer when you make money releasing a book typed on their keyboard lol

Doesnt equal oath nor promise

Games as Live Service:
The business model that allows game Developers/Publishers to monetize a game after the initial release or as an ongoing revenue stream for free-to-play games. Thanks to microtransactions, Developers/Publishers make money from players who are willing to spend on must-haves, like accessories and special features.
- The decline of new IP / games due to this 'Games as Live Service' is the main factor in this updated EULA.

Probably every body should try to Open source godot game engine

I think this was their intention from the start, classic move to put out an absolute extreme then roll back to a lesser extreme which was the actual goal in the first place, like game micro transactions

No matter what they do from here, they already tarnished Unity for good. Plus they already did what they did before announcing this BS, so it's like creating a bad plan they know they were never going to enforce.

if they're not making profit, it is fair to tax the big devs who make lots of money out of the free engine. They have bills and employees to pay after all.

Also this isn't scummy rockstar, they're actually apologizing and giving more room to little time devs. Which is great, and is the right step to begin with.

unity becoming twitch, lmao

English might be your second language technically but if you've been learning it since you where a baby you'd be a native speaker. You speak completely fluently and if you didn't tell someone they'd have no idea that it isn't your first language. I think you have a dog in this race.

They did this on purpose. You hit them with a terrible deal and then "sweeten" it. Don't forget this wasn't a thing before, you're still losing money.

imo 2.5% rev split is fair thos the way they phrased this is super suspicious

Fire and jail time for ALL insider trading.
There is NO free market.
you know crap goin on in da company we don't know and your profit from it that's it.
Go to jail criminal.

have you seen how many ppl work for unity compared to competitors? they may don't do red's if they do what elon musk did at twitter...
but hey, destroying the trust in your company to that degree in record time is impressive in itself.

as a gamedev myself, this stuff has shown me why I picked godot

If unity wants to make more money off of devs, they should make a store front devs can put their games on and have the fees to have it on there just be cheaper than steam and bam

Can we eject unity, its a self report

The CEO of unity is a former EA boss. Continue the boycott, because they made it egregious just because they know they'll get backlash and if they apologize and backtrack just a little, people will be like "Ah, we won". No, you didn't, they did. Just the same with taxes and price hikes over the past year in stores.

not very canadian of you using that z in apologised

This fiasco is the death of unity. Garuntied

"I swear, Unity game engine just pulled a classic restaurant bait and switch. You can have this $40 steak, or you can have this $20 steak, or heck, you can have this $1 steak. The average person will probably go for the $20 option because it seems reasonable. But here's the catch: their system is designed for developers who never earn more than $83,000 (aka x 12 $1M) a month on their games. They strictly define 'rolling' as 12 consecutive months, not annually. If your grand total over any 12 consecutive months hits a million dollars, you might find yourself in a bit of trouble."


For those unfamiliar with the term "bait and switch," it's when they make an initial offer that they know will be rejected (like the $40 steak), then follow it up with a more reasonable one (the $20 steak), expecting most people to choose the latter option.

I love how they talk all this bullshit about "Sorry, we should have spoke to you guys first. We support you".
They can't claim to blame this on just not knowing because they KNEW it would backfire. Just look at how their CEOS sold large amounts of their shares in Unity just before the announcement.

I'm all for continuing to call out Unity because their reaction was more of "We're sorry for getting caught." Whoever told you angst stopped being a word after 2007 gave you some bad information.

Sorry not sorry but corporate apologies are a dime a dozen and mean absolutely nothing, especially to me

I’m not accepting your apology until they allow to be 100% for free again because charging people who were once Indies, then Sony became a company is just straight up wrong. Just stick with donations. It makes it less disastrous. I’m just saying.

Hindi wala aadmi just nailed it for me. Subscribed.

Cue South Parks BP Oil accidentally released Cthullu: "We're Sorry Videos."

Neat.

It's dead, Unreal Engine is free, why anyone would use Unity I will never know.

Ahh nah..
Everything got make own engine right now..
