Imo, this is just Wall Street throwing Unity to the wolves for one last big cash out before they try to bleed money from the company until all that is left is a desiccated husk.

Unity's original exit: Hope Apple buys us

Enshittification continues as usual.

Any EA games that use Unity that I can download over and over?

[-] CriticalMiss@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Sadly not, they use their proprietary engine

[-] fylkenny@feddit.de 20 points 2 years ago

Can they charge for uninstalls too?

[-] Smorty 10 points 2 years ago

What happened to Unity? Can anyone explain? I've been using Godot for two years, so I didn't notice any potential BS happening over there.

License changes that will charge developers based on how many installs their game has instead of how many units sold.

[-] Smorty 10 points 2 years ago

Wow that's bad. So the people who already made games with unity now have to pay extra? Insane

I’m not a lawyer but it seems legally dubious to make retroactive changes to a contract and to then try to get money from it.

[-] Smorty 3 points 2 years ago

I think so too.

Isn't that the gamecube boot thingy

[-] GamesRevolution@programming.dev 9 points 2 years ago

No, the GameCube boot thingy isn't charging developers for each individual install of their own game

Nintendo is watching this very closely I'm sure

This will free up some space on my laptop at least.
