Creators of Slay the Spire will migrate their next game to a new engine if Unity doesn't completely revert their changes

They should honestly just move their engine anyway. Unity has played their hand, and showed they are willing to make changes to their pricing retroactively.

I love that last line.

"We have never made a public statement before. This is how badly you fucked up."

Is it just me or are all big companies killing themself right now?

We have never made a public statement before now. That is how badly you fucked up.

Lmao shots fired. Unity’s C-suite made their own bed… and the bed is made out of anti-personnel mines. I genuinely hope this picks up steam.

Unity showed their hand when they made the announcement. I had never thought to look up who owned them before. Now that I am aware that they’re majority-owned by VC and PE firms, it’s pretty clear to me that this category of monetization-oriented behavior is here to stay, because that’s how VC and PE operate. Unless and until they somehow get a new owner, it’s my sincere opinion that Unity should absolutely not be seriously considered as a game engine for any new game project.

Even if they do revert it, the trust has been lost. They've made mistakes before, but none as stupid as this one

The Unity to Godot Importer is looking awfully tempting!

With the words of the rust developer: Unity can get fucked

Why stay at all whether they revert it or not? They're egregiously incompetent and if they've done this sort of thing once, they're going to do it again. Developers should go where their support will help make something better (Godot) and not stick with the crusty old Unity hag that is constantly pawing at their pockets hoping for the jingle of coins.

OMG that last bolded line made me legit LOL. Gotta love it!

Just the latest in a wave of companies that seem to be looking for ever-more scummy ways to take advantage of their customers in search of the Holy Dollar.

This is hardly a comprehensive list, there's so many recently, but this is just what I could remember off the top of my head:

• Wizards of the Coast
• Adobe
• X-Rite/Pantone/Danaher
• Monotype
• BMW
• Netflix
• Reddit

Yeah fuck Unity, I'd love to see devs abandon them altogether whether they revert the changes or not.

Fuck yeah devs! Get em!

I would love to know what they would port to. UE and Godot seem like obvious candidates.

Slay the Spire is currently -66% on steam... just saying

Haven't Hearthstone been made in Unity? Are we to believe Blizzard will be OK with this?

This is what we get with propietary software. We can't go to another entity or create one to develop the engine for us moving forward. We can't take the current state of the engine and just patch it to keep existing games alive.

If you depend on some work and that work is being done by software only some other company control, this company is really in the control of that work.

This whole Unity situation sounds like when an upper management person notices a small, inconsequential detail, and then decides that everything needs to be uprooted to correct it because they’re an idiot who thinks they’re a genius with a brilliant idea.

“Wait, so there’s a cost for us every time someone downloads a game??”

“Yes, it’s a relatively tiny amount in the grand scheme of things, and is just the cost of doing business“

“Ridiculous! We need to pass this cost back to the devs, and add our own charge on top to make more profit”

Why does Nitter.net block VPNs? Literally worse than Twatter.

Reminds me of when oracle changed their licensing model.

Get fucked, you could have use godot to develop your game or any other free engine
