Rémi Verschelde @Akien - 1h So, big news yesterday. I'm appalled at the impact this will have on the #Unity ecosystem, and #gamedev at large. There's just no way this can lead to anything good for anyone. #GodotEngine is getting a lot of positive attention in reaction, so I want to address a few things. I O 10 t 105 547 Rémi Verschelde @Akien - 1h Many Unity devs rightfully feel threatened by this change, and want to abandon ship after a series of bad leadership decisions. 1 21 mil Lots of people say they'll switch to Godot, or are considering it. I strongly believe that foundational tech should be #FOSS, so I welcome this, but... 17 4 ₁3.216 1 103 Rémi Verschelde @Akien. 1h I also strongly believe that such decisions shouldn't be rushed, and taken out of spite and anger. Unity's install fee will likely be withdrawn given the backlash, but the writing's on the wall and the trust is broken. Use the time you have available to consider options fairly. Q 2 17 9 ❤ 140 3.434 Rémi Verschelde @Akien - 1h I love that you're eyeing Godot, but take your time to weigh the pros and cons. 98 3.988 It's a great engine, but no software is perfect and we don't want you to come to it in panic, and end up frustrated that it might not be the drop-in replacement for what you had to leave behind. Ç 1 17 12 ♡ 161 Godot is one such option, but there are many others, both FOSS and proprietary. Try out a few before settling again! Q 1 27 2 1 3.211 Rémi Verschelde @Akien 1h More than anything, we want people to have access to technology that empowers them to create the games they want to make, and have a good experience doing so. Rémi Verschelde @Akien - 1h If you need insights into where Godot is at currently, and where it's headed, I'm happy to discuss it. You can ask questions in this thread, or DM me or @emi_cpl. If you're going to consider Godot for your games, we want you to do it in the right conditions so you can thrive. Q 4 17 5 ♡ 127 ... ₁3.313 ↑ ↑ T ↑

K Kotaku @Kotaku A Year Later, Unity Cancels Controversial Runtime Fees Completely dlvr.it/TD9GN6 Traduire le post ☑Unity • 5:28 PM 12 sept. 2024 14 k vues 3 121 49 ☐ 4 ↑
IGN @IGN In the wake of a massive controversy regarding previously announced (and then walked-back) install fees, Unity's CEO John Riccitiello is stepping down. bit.ly/48LeHyw Traduire le post Unity® 5:00 PM 9 oct. 2023 249,3 k vues .
Our Unity Personal plan will remain free and there will be no Runtime Fee for games built on Unity Personal. We will be increasing the cap from $100,000 to $200,000 and we will remove the requirement to use the Made with Unity splash screen. No game with less than $1 million in trailing 12-month revenue will be subject to the fee. For those creators on Unity Pro and Unity Enterprise, we are also making changes based on your feedback. The Runtime Fee policy will only apply beginning with the next LTS version of Unity shipping in 2024 and beyond. Your games that are currently shipped and the projects you are currently working on will not be included - unless you choose to upgrade them to this new version of Unity. We will make sure that you can stay on the terms applicable for the version of Unity editor you are using - as long as you keep using that version. For games that are subject to the runtime fee, we are giving you a choice of either a 2.5% revenue share or the calculated amount based on the number of new people engaging with your game each month. Both of these numbers are self- reported from data you already have available. You will always be billed the lesser amount.
