Can they tell the differences between installs or can't they? Either way, they're definitely lying to their users.

Wait why charging for an install? What is going on?

It's why software needs to be open source, not just free.

Godot 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.

The year of Godot games is coming

See a sharp rise? Was that an intentional C# reference?

LMAO

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...

Yo, is C# named that because a # is made of four plusses?

sounds like you’ve missed a couple of days of the newest Unity drama

Because greed. Is there any other explanation?

Or because they got bigger than they can currently support and they don't want to lay off their employees.

[–] cerement@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 year ago

Unity has absolutely no qualms about laying off employees …

Then 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.
