Aggro Crab's Letter to Unity

HEY GAMERS! Today, Unity (the engine we use to make our games) announced that they'll soon be taking a fee from developers for every copy of the game installed over a certain threshold - regardless of how that copy was obtained. Guess who has a somewhat highly anticipated game coming to Xbox Game Pass in 2024? That's right, it's us and a lot of other developers. That means Another Crab's Treasure will be free to install for the 25 million Game Pass subscribers. If a fraction of those users download our game, Unity could take a fee that puts an enormous dent in our income and threatens the sustainability of our business. And that's before we even think about sales on other platforms, or pirated installs of our game, or even multiple installs by the same user!!! This decision puts us and countless other studios in a position where we might not be able to justify using Unity for our future titles. If these changes aren't rolled back, we'll be heavily considering abandoning our wealth of Unity expertise we've accumulated over the years and starting from scratch in a new engine. Which is really something we'd rather not do. On behalf of the dev community, we're calling on Unity to reverse the latest in a string of shortsighted decisions that seem to prioritize shareholders over their product's actual users. hate it here. -Aggro Crab

Red Hook on Unity Changes

We at Red Hook know something about madness... Much like Darkest Dungeon, game development is a dynamic and challenging effort where tough choices must be made using imperfect information. Making and releasing a game is an uncertain endeavor, with treasures never guaranteed. But that uncertainty should lie in the marketplace, not with fundamental business terms around which a project was built. We believe Unity has made a grave misstep in introducing a poorly thought out fee mechanic and then compounded that threefold by making it apply to games that have already been released. We are sympathetic to the idea that companies must sometimes change how they operate, but these changes should be carefully planned, communicated, and enacted in such a way that partners may choose whether they wish to accept these new rules for their next projects. We built Darkest Dungeon II using Unity, and a large part of our decision to do so was the relative cost certainty around the license and subscription model. We've spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on licenses, and far more than that in engaging Unity to help us with parts of development. It is hard for us to imagine building another game with Unity unless we know we are protected from the possibility of massive changes to how we pay for that technology being introduced at the whims of executive management. Part of game development is knowing when a mechanic is not working and then having the courage to swallow your ego and undo the mistake. We call on Unity to recant this blunder. S Red Hook

When you consider how important Unity Engine is and has been in our lives as developers and gamers. It is not acceptable! Although, for my part, I'm not a Unity user, but in no way I endorse the introduction of an installation fee. There are far too many random factors (demos, bundles, piracy,...) and potential risks both for studios, developers and for the video game world in general. I therefore invite everyone to support the studios and developers who work with Unity Engine, as well as the Unity Technologies teams who are also suffering from this catastrophic decision (it's a purely management and commercial decision). I sincerely hope that this situation will improve and that a solution will be found very soon!

While Pro lopment in me a financial risk for indie developers like Free downloads are charged, which makes giveaways, charity bundles, and platforms like GamePass too high of a financial risk for us to be able to pursue. These fees do not benefit developers in any way, and instead can actively harm them. Frogsong's Nintendo Switch port will continue to be developed in Unity, as it's far too late to change engines, but we will not be working in Unity for future games.

When you consider how important Unity Engine is and has been in our lives as developers and gamers. It is not acceptable! Although, for my part, I'm not a Unity user, but in no way I endorse the introduction of an installation fee. There are far too many random factors (demos, bundles, piracy,...) and potential risks both for studios, developers and for the video game world in general. I therefore invite everyone to support the studios and developers who work with Unity Engine, as well as the Unity Technologies teams who are also suffering from this catastrophic decision (it's a purely management and commercial decision). I sincerely hope that this situation will improve and that a solution will be found very soon!

As we're a small indie game studio, this would affect us greatly to the point where we would even shut our doors. We've used unity for all of our projects, and have spent multiple years our experience with the engine to the point we are now. using Unity alternative Cuently we are in the process of deciding what path we want to take given the news. We're still focused on releasing new content for Run a Café, however we are currently pausing development on both Virus and Pixel Core while we wait to see if the situation changes or until we figure out what engine we swap to for these tes.

While Pro lopment in me a financial risk for indie developers like Free downloads are charged, which makes giveaways, charity bundles, and platforms like GamePass too high of a financial risk for us to be able to pursue. These fees do not benefit developers in any way, and instead can actively harm them. Frogsong's Nintendo Switch port will continue to be developed in Unity, as it's far too late to change engines, but we will not be working in Unity for future games. We cannot stand by these decisions, and we cannot afford the risk it would place on our small team. Frogteam Games
