We have heard you. We apologize for the confusion and angst the runtime fee policy we announced on Tuesday caused. We are listening, talking to our team members, community, customers, and partners, and will be making changes to the policy. We will share an update in a couple of days. Thank you for your honest and critical feedback.

It is a place holder.

“We’ll look into it and really search our souls “ — then in a year when everyone has moved on, we’ll just continue to change nothing, screwing Devs… thank you.

I mean, there’s really nothing to make changes about. The policy just needs to go. Anything less than that is a half-measure that won’t be accepted.

This is a common tactic.

“You will have to eat shit”

“Wtf, no”

“Ok, I hear you. You will only have to drink piss”

“Oh thank god”

This just feels like the Wizards of the Coasts OGL debacle all over again.

That’s because it is literally the same thing.

Since it is also what the largest companies are doing, expect this trend to be a permanent fixture in the future.

As someone who is doing a course in games design using Unity, this change has made me actually start learning Godot and Unreal. I will need to completely relearn everything I’ve been taught so far. But hey, lets me try out different engines I guess
