Can they tell the differences between installs or can't they? Either way, they're definitely lying to their users.
You're viewing a single thread.
Wait why charging for an install? What is going on?
21 1 ReplyIt's why software needs to be open source, not just free.
43 1 ReplyGodot is a good example of a free and well-developed open source game engine. It'll probably see a sharp rise in adoption following this controversy from Unity.
43 0 ReplySee a sharp rise? Was that an intentional C# reference?
22 2 ReplyLMAO
I work with C# daily and even I didn't realize I made a pun there xD
Maybe it's just embedded in my subconscious at this point...
13 0 ReplyYo, is C# named that because a # is made of four plusses?
3 0 ReplyYep, it's supposed to mean C++++.
The sharp symbol also resembles a ligature of four "+" symbols (in a two-by-two grid), further implying that the language is an increment of C++.
That's specific enough that I have to assume you already knew that, though.

I've looked into Godot for 2 hours and I already am learning how to write shaders. I feel like the available assets are going to skyrocket.

Because greed. Is there any other explanation?
15 0 ReplyOr because they got bigger than they can currently support and they don't want to lay off their employees.
3 18 ReplyUnity has absolutely no qualms about laying off employees …
22 0 ReplyThen they'd use an actually sensible payment model like, gee, say taking a cut of the revenue made from unity games?
This is like being charged every time you eat off of a plate rather than just charging for the fucking plate.

Instead of revenue sharing like some places do Unity want a $0.20 fee , less depending on your sales numbers, for installing a unity game.
