A fresh report into Unity’s hugely-controversial decision to start charging developers when their games are downloaded has thrown fresh light on the situation.
MobileGamer sources say Unity has already offered some studios a 100% fee waiver - if they switch over to Unity’s own LevelPlay ad platform.
The report quotes industry consultants that say this move is an “attempt to destroy” Unity’s main competitior in this field: AppLovin.
Shareholders prefer constant steady income over one time purchases. Hence why they prefer subscriptions and ads.
Well… Peasants need this hot thing called voting with your feet and money…
Amazing things can be done esp in 100% discretionary sectors.
But nahh…
Nothing will ever change.
You know it, I know it, we all know it.
There is only one thing to be done.

Sir, this is a
Wendysvideo game technology thread.Hard to disagree but I don’t like your attitude dawg
I mean quite the opposite. Ff you are talking about the plebs, you would have a point but the Unity changes they are now trying to force through are going to other companies who typically don’t like it when you mess with their income unexpectedly. They likely will switch to a new engine with their newer projects, so they don’t have to deal with a surprise change.
Sure, bud. You do that.
Had me in the first part NGL.
But leaving democracy because capitalism is bah? No.
I know they do, and I hate it so so much…
That’s why I’m gonna buy Procreate Dreams even if I’m not an animator.
Well yeah. Subscriptions make a shitload of money compared to a one-time payment.
