Unity ...It Just Keeps Get Worse
Unity ...It Just Keeps Get Worse
To say it's been a bad week for Unity is the understatement of 2023. First they announced a terrible new Pricing scheme, then their customers revolted, as the week goes on though, it gets worse and worse for Unity, from threats from an employee shutting down their offices, to more studios threatening to leave, to scummy secret changes to their terms of service and back door deals with clients to get around the Unity Runtime Fee in an attempt to bury a competitor.
Am I the only one that wishes these video posts had some text explaination for those of us at work and unable to watch videos in the middle of the office?
Done 👌
Excellent work srgnt
Thank you!
I've found this useful: https://www.summarize.tech/
Nice tool
If it does what it sounds like, it really should be integrated directly into Lemmy or Lemmy clients.
That's one for the bookmarks. What an incredible site.
I've had that thought about 6 separate times this morning sitting at a hospital. I miss RIF showing me the link before I go to it.

Some of us here didn't grow up in the YouTube generation, where what could be a one minute read has to be turned into a ten minute ad-riddled video with over the top voice acting, "artistic" shots, and useless transitions.
Have you considered that plenty of people probably find your advice stupid and condescending regardless of saying the word "airpod"?
Or that the word airpod was also unnecessary since you already said headphones?
Apple defaultism is pretty dumb on its own, but it's hardly the biggest problem with your comment.
One gripe I have with this video is that he said the situation at the unity office - namely the supposed death threat by an employee against their employer - was "understandable". It absolutely isn't understandable. No matter how shitty your tech CEO is, unless they happily throw puppies into a wood chipper in the office, death threats are definitely not understandable.
I assumed the threat was from a developer whose life's work is ruined by these terms. I wonder what the employee's motive was.
I presume a day off work.
Boss needed a bomb threat called in
Agreed
I wonder now whether that means that you feel that egg industry CEOs deserve death threats...
Active evil vs passive evil.
What’s the difference between puppy-chippers and starving out families with policy changes?
If the studios don't switch to Godot and contribute back, they'll be setting themselves up for another Unity a few years down the line.
I'm also interested in checking out Stride tomorrow. Hopefully I can find a good alternative to Mirror for multiplayer networking and the FinalIk package I had in Unity.
Holy shit, I had no idea about that whole quid-pro-quo bullshit. That’s crazy. Also, that’s definitely super illegal.
Anyone know off the top of their head what the price difference is between Unity and Unreal now? And are there Unity engine alternatives that people can seek?
there is no "price difference" they use a completely different pricing model, unity is SaaS, and moving to pay per install. Unreal is free, if you make more than a million dollars then you have to pay 5% royalties to epic.
there is no equating the two
They’re just different pricing models, not different verticals. Unity is still cheaper, but incurs significant risk now. Whereas Epic will take their 5% after $1M, Unity has no revenue split. However now that they’re charging per install, devs need to be sure their marginal profit clears this bar. No one is sure their pricing model works before launch, so I think this risk is unreasonable.
Pretty sure godot is pretty up there from what I hear but that’s the extent of my knowledge.
