Unity is getting sued.
Wouldn’t be surprised if there was already multiple lawyers lining up to take the case
I mentioned this in a thread on the news article posted somewhere around here and it was pointed out that they do claim to have preventative measures for this exact scenario. They didn’t detail what that was, however. It could still be (and likely would be) inadequate and certainly not fool proof.
Yeah I can’t see this policy staying legal for long. Even if it wasn’t blatant Highway robbery, Don’t these tech companies have lobbyists that can push to ban this kind of shit? Because this screws over the company and not the fan base. I mean Publishers are going to have a hard time finding Talent if they want a game based in unity, but the developers are worried about being bankrupted simply because too many people are trying to get the game working by uninstalling and reinstalling it.
And what if the company is already defunct, but their game is still on Steam because the publisher owns the ip? Who exactly is going to Pony up?
the best game engine is bevy, exclusively because it gives you the right to tell everyone else that your game is made in rust
And then they recommend using Godot for serious projects on their own website
I can see a lot of people switching away from unity due to this.
It’s sad that I wasted my time learning the engine a few years ago.
Any C# coding skill won’t be wasted, so there’s that silver lining, unlike navigating through the editor.
