This but unironically describes Unity's new pricing model.

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 60 points 2 years ago

Yeah this is from 2019? Seems pretty prescient

[-] epicsninja@lemmy.world 62 points 2 years ago

Things truly are dire when a 4Chan shitpost can be called prescient.

Something something ... 1 million chimps on typewriters ... something.

Nope. It's a common joke to show that a company doesn't actually lose money when a game is pirated.

[-] GillyGumbo@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

It's simply a comment on how piracy =/= lost sales. Don't look too far into it.

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago

Holy shit. I didn't look at the date until I saw your post. Anon is the new Nostradamus.

Does it apply to free to play games? If so that's stupid af

[-] Zacryon@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago

No. Afaik this only takes effect after certain revenue and install thresholds.

[-] Tnaeriv@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

F2P games can still make money. Look: microtransactions. So this absolutely applies to them.

[-] Zacryon@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

Ah yeah, sorry, wasn't thinking about dark pattern games.

[-] Venat0r@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That effects free to play games that make money, also demos for games that make money...

For this green text to be properly updated, the first line needs to be changed to, "Purchase game on Steam."
