    What a cluster. I feel for devs who are in a bad spot here thanks to yet more corporate greed.

    I hope that one positive that stems from this is less trust in corporate solutions, since ultimately they are always beholden to profit – unlike things like Godot, that now also hopefully get the support they deserve.

      I feel for them because i switch games all the time on my deck, even with a 1tb sdcard on top of the 512gb, you have to remove games and install games all the time. I'm not going to feel guilty about this, they are my games, i paid for them and will install and uninstall as i see fit. Not out of malice, but because this is expected behavior. I imagine there are going to be a lot of lawsuits over this, and more than a few bankruptcies. They also can't remove games you've already paid for, so this is going to get interesting.

        A lot of Nintendo and Pokemon games are on Unity, including Pokemon Go. Sony also has plenty of games on Unity

        I predict we're going to see a slaughter - That's two of the big three console manufacturers. They ain't going to let Unity screw them over

        Unity made it clear that reinstalling on the same device doesn’t count. Though installing on multiple devices counts since they don’t track who installed it.

          Did they clarify how they track "the same device"? If I replace my SSD, is that's new device? Gpu? Motherboard? Cpu? Get more ram? Reinstall the OS?

          And even then, I usually install on 2-3 different devices. And what happens when 10 years down the road I want to okay it again and install it on 2 more devices?

            Do installs of the same game by the same user across multiple devices count as different installs?

            We treat different devices as different installs. We don’t want to track identity across different devices.

            Is collecting the install data GDPR and CCPA compliant?

            The method we are using to calculate installs is currently derived from aggregated data from various sources collected in compliance with all privacy laws and used to build a confidence around our estimate. If anything changes, we will provide you with notice and compliance mechanisms to assure all parties remain in compliance with applicable laws. Please note we will always work with our customers to ensure accurate billing.

            Will games made with Unity phone-home to track installs?

            We will refine how we collect install data over time with a goal of accurately understanding the number of times the Unity runtime is distributed. Any install data will be collected in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable privacy laws.

            They likely don’t track identities because that would be personal information, which is what GDPR protects.

              @basxto I appreciate you running point for Unity on this, but "from various sources collected in compliance with all privacy laws" says nothing.

              Easy enough to wait and see how they do phone home, and with what data they send back though.

                Their posts sounded a lot like they already collected that data based their pricing on that. They are desperate to become profitable, I don’t think they themselves thought this was the best idea.

                I would like to see godot rise.

    Nebulous is still in early access and it's a 3 man team. This will effectively end an incredible game before it can fulfill it's early access.

    I hope John Riccitiello has chronic pain for the rest of his life. No one should be able to unilaterally fuck over so many people.

    One of the biggest games I can think of on Unity is Rust, and Facepunch has shown that they don't really give two fucks about switching engines. Unreal doesn't really have fairer pricing, but it's way simpler so they're gonna lose a lot of business to them

      Rust currently has a 30-day average player count of just under 75k.

      My current favorite (Rimworld) has one of 16k.

      That's still a lot of unhappy gamers.

      Id Tech 3 is GPLv2, so for that one, yes. I'm not aware of similar being true for Unreal Engine 2, so I'd assume, no.

      But if you're just generally looking for an engine that won't bite you, Godot is a better choice.
