By 2050, it will be illegal to question Unity install numbers.

Because the CEO doesn't want the company to make money after he fucks off, putting my gnomish hat on this is the only thing that would make sense to me.
This is all I can make of it. Unity is doomed and if they can't make money then nobody who uses or has used their product is allowed to make money. It's garden gnome logic.
there is a time for every company, specially tech, to cash out
big if true

That's a quote worth keeping.
yeah, I wonder why
They only went public in 2020, still it will be interesting to see if the stock value tomorrow will drop and by how much.
I refuse to believe they are this stupid. Is this some kind of a joke?
No, it's kabbalite usury magic. The CEO sold all his shares, and now he's going to crash the company.
With no survivors
One wonders why you would sell your stocks before enacting a new policy.
You're a shit CEO.
>You're a shit CEO.
Yes but it doesn't matter because he'll walk away form this richer than he was before, and then he'll use that money to get a job at a new company where he can do it again like the parasite he is.
As shakespeare used to say, we really should kill all the bankers.
It's illegal.
>he thinks the law applies to the rich
lol
lmao
It's gonna apply to him the moment he tries to garden gnome bigger garden gnomes.
The people most affected by this are richer than him.
you're very young if you think the law applies equally to the rich and not-rich
Not for him, it isn't.
>It's illegal.
Kek wait till you find out about Jeffery Epstein and his black book
not if you wear a tiny hat
For you
*stock crashing noises*
He (his wife/cousin/someone with the appropriate degree of separation so it is not too blatant) is be sorting the company as we speak.
Crashing this company
With no developers!
>angry dev noises
WITH NO DEVELOPERS
he's a big guy
Why though? If he sold his shares doesn't that mean he's not involved anymore? Does he plan to buy them back after the crash or is it just out of spite?
Yes. It's not insider trading if he sells, crashes the company's stock and then repurchases at a significantly lower price. That's perfectly legal, in fact.
older generations are starting to step down and tech companies are getting flooded by their rich 20-somethings grandkids who have been sheltered and handed everything their whole life, but think they know exactly how to maximize profits, despite having no idea how the real world works.
it's the former CEO of EA, dipshit. he's not some naive zoomer.
oh, that explains it even more then
lmao, anon you just got BTFO'd
you genuinely don't know how the world works.
Are you like, 16?
Honestly, I've found the worst offenders to be old gays who lost their jobs in buyouts getting relocated (due to some nonsense contract guaranteeing employment).
At a plant I used to have to run numbers for, their ideal running speed was 37 tons per hour (please don't ask what they were running). This is accounting for downtime, wear & tear on equipment, etc which increases damn near exponentially as you raise the speed. One of these old fucks got put in charge of the place and his first brilliant thought was "well, golly gee, the maximum speed is 85 tons an hour, HOW ABOUT WE DO THAT!? CLEARLY I AM A GENIUS, HOW DID NOBODY BEFORE ME THINK OF THIS!?" Fucking fried all the cabinets controlling everything, causing 2 weeks of downtime. Shit never recovered. I'm pretty sure that asshole is still running the place.
Profit maximization and gaming stocks has nothing to do with the real world so they're not really too wrong tbh. It's all a solved game you either win from the start or keep losing for eighty years of your life.
Nah, this is peak shareholder garden gnomeery.
Think of shareholders as these alien parasites that don't understand anything about the world, society, economics, and culture, but they love money.
They latch onto a company, propose retarded policies that drive the company in the ground with short term gains but long term detriments, and then bail from the company because they made their 1.1x gains. It's peak garden gnomeery.
>hire botnet to hit the webpage once with every machine they have
>so umm mr dev we see here your game got 5 million unique IP hits yesterday so uh you owe us one million dollars
ceo is gnomish, they pull this stuff all the time and get away with it everywhere else. thats why he thinks it will work this time too.
stock manipulation
Lmao this is some garden gnome shit
Everyone is getting in their final opportunity to garden gnome before the upcoming consumer debt crisis sends everyone to the poorhourse
Did they short their own company?
>per IP address
no fucking way
If the unity black box checks this, then an abusive end user can just change their IP. If it's a server-side plugin, the developer fuck with it and send the mothership the same IP.
There is 0 chance they actually thought through any of the edge cases with this shit. What a shitshow of a company.
https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
BURN IT ALL DOWN
I gaurantee the ceo has stock in Epic Games.
>one IP = one install
A lot of people have a dynamic IP... That can mean at least one install per day, even if they don't install anything.
Yes, there is that.
But also the fact that behind one public IP there could be 100s or 1000s of people.
Those people could be installing/running in browser the same game during same day.
The whole thing in nonsensical and retarded. I genuinely doubt anyone tech oriented was consulted.
>once per IP address
uh oh
Buy low, sell high. CEO just sold, according to anons (I don't care enough to look into it myself), and this presents an excellent opportunity to buy low.
I'm almost tempted to just due to how many gacha devs Unity has by the balls. But it takes like two months of funded effort to get Godot up to speed tbh.
Don't do it fucking retard, it's not going to shoot up, they're killing the company and you're falling for it like a good little shabbos goy

it's fake but it turned out to be not so far from the truth
I clear my cache. I reuse. I change my ip, I reuse
I do pity the poor fuck in office that will have to sort that mess out.
God, I hope the video game economy fucking collapses.
why?
Indie games don't handle necessary features like pronouns well, when they add them at all. Starfield proved only AAA developers should be allowed to develop games so that players can be properly educated.
Nope, just the Unity community. I'm so fucking tired of seeing Early Access Unity asset swap #8728372 on Steam. Any developer that uses Unity can go fuck themselves. I hope they all go bankrupt.
>installation fees
Is Unity running the Steam servers everyone downloads games from, now?
Most based thread currently on Ganker
Only question is, which game dev do we fuck over?
fuck all of them
the bankrupcy arc would be kino
This guy makes like 10 grand a month and has people worship him for barely working. Cope.

All. Reminder that Mihoyo games so Genshit and other gachas are on Unity lmao. This shit is hilarious as fuck. Square and other big publishers use Unity for their smaller games especially mobile ones/gachas.
I'm not going to waste time downloading 180GB of genshin
These garden gnomes won't see a single cent from Mihoyo or any other chink dev. The chinese courts will make sure of that.
Not even garden gnomes can outgarden gnome chinks, they'll just buy unity
EA or Blizzard are the obvious options.
Genshin bro, I want to see what the chinese will do
They are gonna create Urity and laugh at the retards at San Francisco.
They already use heavily modified unity. What stops them from stealing some code and make reunity engine?
Nothing, especially since It's China.
Retards talked about how the chinks were going to be destroyed with the chips embargoes, and now they are developing their own.
You can't easily out garden gnome the chinks, it's how they developed as a people.
if they then share Urity for free this is the funniest outcome.
They already run their own private fork and are protected by the Chinese state. Mihoyo cannot be touched, and I could see them releasing a fork of their fork to westerners with all the backdoors that entails under the previous licensing rules.
God bless the Chinese.
Only way to beat a garden gnome is to outgarden gnome them.
gachas, gaases and mmos
everything must burn
any game with morons or trannies in it
I certainly didn't forget.

>Hearthstone runs on Unity.
>Thereby with this both Blizzard and Activision can be fucked with.
Gentlemen, it is time to sink Bobbys yacht.
Do it asap bro
Isn´t in action just yet, unfortunately, but the time draws near.
its probably not gonna apply to already existing games or already existing unity versions.
so most companies will probably just stick with an older version of unity with an older license agreement.
what will probably happen is that people will either start using older unity versions exclusively and unity will rethink their idea or they will just move to other engines.
>he doesn't know
They already confirmed it applies to ALL games who made $200,000 USD or more in the last 12 months
https://unity.com/pricing-updates
Wow. we're going to be seeing alot of games being pulled from digital storefronts. Better get ready to archive those
It's funny because Valve still allows you to install games even if they've been delisted, so basically unless they manage to talk Valve into permanently erasing the games from everyone's account they will still have to pay for every install for a year after delisting. No way to escape.
That's where you are wrong anon
What is Unity Runtime? Will games with custom installers still have to pay?
It's the engine minus the editor. You can't release a Unity game without its runtime.
You know they are only going to assrape indies and work a deal with big corpos because they actually have money and legal departments to take them to court.
Surely this is only for future games. I don't think they can legally implement this retroactively to games that are already released.
It retroactivly applies for anything still being streamed, bought, downloaded (even illegally) past the policy activation date.

g-guys? Did EA just save videogames?
EA is like Gollum who saved by the Gaming Industry by it's own greediness.
youd have to be on crack to think this is a good thing for games, this will dissuade indies and AA's even more and we'll have an even greater ratio of soulless AAA slop
>Unity says that this will be RETROACTIVELY enforced if game is still on "market"
there is no way they can enforce that in any way. even if their malware monitors installs they cant just flip the license agreement of older terms around.
>they cant just flip the license agreement of older terms
they literally cant anon. the EU will get in the way if nothing else.
You underestimate the power of Tel-Aviv (who just bought Unity)

go to any game's install folder, if you see a structure like

Why include me in that? I was making fun of the other two.
But gamers don't care about a "successful product." We just want good games, you evil asshole. Is he trying to be villainous on purpose?
He actually starred as a villain in two No More Heros games.

how the fuck did he get CEO of another company after fucking up so hard
When you are a CEO, it's actually very easy to get hired at other companies due to connections and experience.
what the fuck is this

what the fuck
Timmy is a bit of a slimeball, but I don't think he would ever stoop this low
Unlikely. You just know that Epic is popping bottles because of this news.
And the Unity ceo with stock in Epic Games
Both Japan and the EU will nuke this shit from orbit, but it's going to be so much fun to watch unfold.
Its actually happening. The memes are no longer dreams. Piracy=money stolen.
Hold up, what if this is some elaborate ruse to get every man and his dog on a manhunt against piracy?
HOW ARE THEY GOING TO ENFORCE THIS??
ARE WEBSITES LIKE NEWGROUNDS AND ITCH.IO JUST GOING PURGE UNITY SHIT SO THEY CAN STAY ALIVE??
IP :v
but how the fuck would that work with IP?
public IP can be used by more than just one PC/device/person/household.
You could have whole street behind one public IP.
refer to
ipconfig release renew
the tax isn't enforced on the host site, right?
nope it falls onto developers.
this is why this is so hilarious.
you can fuck with developers simply by downloading the game over and over.
so now piracy that leaves in the telemetry will actively hurt developers?
we dont know yet.
it could be but we dont know. unity sure makes it sound like that but if piracy is gonna have a real life impact on developers like this they will riot against unity not the pirates.
Yes
Ho ho ho, time to restart my modem and bankrupt some devs...

Itch and Newgrounds won't care, they're not eating the cost. It's the devs.
Does hosting a game on your website count as streaming it? If so, then they might be fucked.
Yes, but it'll only be a monthly recurrence per IP, so be ready to use VPNs and the Hispanicy old ipconfig release renew.
>Yes, but it'll only be a monthly recurrence per IP
Well shit, now I know for certain Newgrounds will purge all their Unity games if this goes through. They did a purge once before when they obviously couldn't pay royalties to music companies, so a monthly fee for hosting someone's weekend game project might be no different. If not a purge, then it might discourage moderators from Frontpaging stuff made in Unity.
I like how they're saying it ONLY charges you once a month and anything higher would be unfair, as if pointing out it won't be even worse makes it okay.
lmfao Unity has become a stain overnight
It was already mocked and jeered
This is absolutely fucking retarded and equivalent of getting taxed for oxygen.

Yeah you are, you idiots have flooded this board with a made up story and you're still doing it

Isn't this illegal?
Entirely.
Nope, as the CEO it isn't insider trading.
>Isn't this illegal?
Only for goyim cattle.
No, bc why the fuck a CEO want to kill his own company. only a hyper garden gnome.....oh....
He is tanking the stock value of his company on purpose in order to make it more attractive for a takeover.
He wants to sell the company to a bidder and get himself a nice additional paycheck on his way out.
It's only illegal if a pleb does it, once you have enough money nothing you do is illegal unless you piss someone off with more money.
didn't he just piss off a bunch of megacorps with this

Unity can do whatever they want. UE5 is an abomination and any game that uses it flops.
Well, so much for releasing my game for free, like I initially planned to.
>Today, a large majority of Unity Editor users are currently not paying anything and will not be affected by this change. The Unity Runtime fee will not impact the majority of our developers.
>The developers who will be impacted are generally those who have successful games and are generating revenue way above the thresholds we outlined in our blog. This means that developers who are still building their business and growing the audience of their games will not pay a fee. The program was designed specifically this way to ensure developers could find success before the install fee takes effect.
Ok, nevermind, we're good
>large majority of Unity Editor users are currently not paying anything
They had one job - take % of revenue, just like UE does. It was going to solve all their problems. Most devs were going to accept it even if this rule applied to 200k revenue. (unlike Unreal's 1million). Unity shot itself in a dick.
now read what they are actually doing instead of taking corp speak for granted
no, its not.
theres no way in hell this system can not be abused, either by hackers with spite problem, your average Ganker user, or even unity themselves
lets say you make 200,000 dollars out of revenue of your f2p game, but 2,000,000 people install your game.
that means you will owe unity 1,800,000 dollars, 9x more than what you earned. not to mention, whos to say unity can not inflate your install numbers in order to force you to pay?
>lets say you make 200,000 dollars out of revenue of your f2p game
I wouldn't it's free
They count all forms of revenue not just game sales.
I'm not putting any gay microtransactions, it's just a game I'm making for fun in my free time and don't plan to profit off of.

Lmao
their mobile games that print money do.
pokemon bro
FE Engage is a unity game.
Hopefully they keep the changes and devs will abandon this shitty engine.
Why didn't they just make it revenue based like UE? Having it based on installs makes no sense, it's just going to fuck things up for F2P games and Game Pass .
>just realized a fetish game i've been waiting on an update for was made on unity
granted i'm pretty sure it's niche enough to not be at risk, but i'd imagine only the most stubborn of motherfuckers (or gachafags) will be sticking with unity now regardless
Sunk cost for some devs late in development will force them to deal with it.
That one fat fetish pet blob simulator I knew of was looking super promising, too.
that's exactly the game i was thinking of too
Assuming we're on the same page, we're talking about the Unity game by Blobygon, correct? I'm telling ya' man, this simulator game has almost everything I really wanted from a fetish game. Ambient gurgling, fat you can jiggle, customization, and of course, FEEDING. The wants are so simple, but it's hardly approached by most creators in the fat fetish sphere because making something physics based and making it GOOD takes a lot of coding and math knowledge. At least, I assume it does.
i was
and
, i was thinking of chub chomp chill by solitaryscribbles, i've never heard of that game
the fact there's TWO fat fetish pet games being fucked over by this is kinda funny though.
captcha: JOVR T[/spoiler]
>spoiler
Chub, Chomp, Chill was my second guess.
I've never seen anything like Blobygon's game in the fetish sphere because a lot of the WG games you see people make are visual novels, RPGs that might as well be visual novels, or simple Arcade experiences in the vein of SHMUPs or score attack. What a strange world where one rich guy's decision can have cascading effects on the things you least expect.

Capitalism is just the economic manifestation of the competitive human spirit. Capitalism is literally whenever you see your friend having more plate on his pie than you and feeling jealous over it, to the point of wanting more pie. There's no way to escape it other than forced brainwashing.
>Capitalism is literally whenever you see your friend having more plate on his pie than you and feeling jealous over it, to the point of wanting more pie.

How the fuck is Unity gonna go to court against shit like Tencent and Activision?
Tencent won't care because they'll probably end up working with Unity China which will have their own licensce agreements.
Activision & friends will probably have a problem with the rugpull contract change.

>t. Jimmy Tortellini
I remember when cashshops were MOSTLY a mobile game thing
It will mostly affect mobile games yes. But indies who make games in Unity and the games get popular will get fucked by it.
Not giving your damage control garden gnome a click. Any game that makes over a certain amount of revenue in 12 months can literally be botted into bankruptcy, and the only answer Unity has is "we can prevent it with proprietary methods just trust us bro :)"
does this mean that all of the unity games that I've installed previously have trojans in them that are waiting to report that they were installed/already did?
If it was made in 2019 or later, yes. It has malware that phones home without your permission
WELL CONGRATULATIONS, YOU SOLD ALL YOUR STOCKS
NOW WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP OF YOUR MASTER PLAN
it's foolish to think this will go through since it's a dozen class-action lawsuits waiting to happen, but let's say it does. devs aren't going to want to play that game with unity, and they seem to want to apply these fees even to titles from before the changes were made.
is this going to lead to an extinction event on old games on par with when flash was killed?
Devs will simply pull their games from stores if this goes through, simple as.
They can pull their games, but the people who already bought them can still download and install them.
Update the game and add a bogus file thats 1tb in file size, no one will install your game now
>Devs will simply pull their games from stores if this goes through
>get rid of the vast, endless catalog of games released in the last 30+ years, the one crushing advantage that PC has over consoles
I can't see that boding well.
Lmfao PC has far more crushing advantages
Look out guys, the Unity damage control team found their way here
What's the next step in his masterplan?
Just charge royalties you dumb garden gnomes like Epic does. What the fuck are they thinking with this
They allowed Fate and Genshin Impact to release their under unity with a basic flat fee and are now going insane due to the ammount of money they lost
We are talking about a man whose dreams of microtransactions revolved around charging for each individual bullet you fired.
its for mobile games. where apps are installed and reinstalled often.
its not gonna affect pc and console games.
Good
and that is a good thing
guys, imagine all the shitty games, released and upcoming, they will be no more.

Unity is going to retract this change within 48 hours.
Instead they're just raising all licensing fees.
Unity makes money hand over fist without changing a single thing about their product or service.
Indie devs will cheer and run free PR for Unity.
Screencap this post.
Why would you EVER trust a company that is willing to retroactively make you pay them more for games you already released?
It also brings to light their TOS allows this type of shit, so unless you are already balls deep in some game there's legit no fucking way anyone will willingly go with Unity again knowing this, even if they step back
Unity is over. They are bleeding money anyway.
the ole foot in the door technique. they want to go one step too far, so they go three steps too far, so backpeddling to the original abomination seems reasonable. impressive that it works every single time.
Foot in the door, more like breaking down the store "Here's Johnny"-style. Now that people know that they can do this shit, even retroactively, nobody in their right mind is going to use unity.
this is so fucking retarded its unreal
no its unity

Yes
>decide to follow my dreams and start making my own games at beginning of year

>this drops
Literally 9/11 + 1. Do I just cut my losses and switch to Godot?
It's only for established devs, you're fine. See
Probably, not because they probably won't revert these changes, but because nobody will believe them and will probably drop unity forever.
This is more what I'm worried about than anything else. If every dev drops it and they become a dirty word in the industry they won't make any money and people won't buy the games and they'll have to push even worse schemes
Yeah it was almost completely grinding proper c# script-coding and hooking them up in the Unity editor. Guess I should at least check Godot out if that's the case.
AFAIK it has better integration with blender. Also, blender-ish controls and hotkeys, I simply imported .blend files and was building my scene easily.
I haven't looked into Blender for 2D much yet, although I was thinking it would be a neat way to make flat pre-rendered 2D assets.
Godot has C# support. If you weren't grinding unity in C#, you wasted your time.
time to learn godot
you should have seen this coming like everyone else
Use that knowledge to release a game you don't expect to make a lot of money off, its only for a certain threshold. Just hope that this game doesn't get big or then they'll start taking their cut.
Then move onto another game engine.

You are clearly confused and don't even know what the thread is about.
It's about a discord coming to Ganker to post a story that is basically made up and to samedag each other to generate consensus here because they like unreal engine and want to tear down competitors which is something you can see here literally every day they're shills paid or unpaid
Anon, if you somehow aren't trolling you just need to do a small search query to verify all this silliness.
The discord here is deliberately altering images, misrepresenting, and samefagging in order to create a false impression knowing full well the average person here won't actually read the real thing. They're aren't charging per installation it's literally coming from epic fail shills
should swap yellow and grey tshirts
I'm just going to leave this here, bear in mind that Unity recently was also bought by Ironsource.
those are the top owners of every company in the world, you're not proving anything by this
How the fuck would they even enforce this if they aren't willing to show how they got the numbers?
"Trust me bro" is a time honored tradition in business
Again, how would they be able to enforce that, if someone refuses to pay?
>Hello it's me, John Unity. Your app was downloaded x number of times so now you owe us 12k
>I'm not paying that
>Okay. We will now revoke your access to Unity from all your developer PCs. Further more, you are now blacklisted as a customer. Have fun continuing to make and support your Unity games without Unity.
Seems pretty cut and dry to me anon
They would also sue you
>"Your honor, fagsmcgee owes us 10 trillion dollars."
>Do you have any proof of that
>"Just trust me bro."
Cool, they lost a customer, and the dev will have to use something else, but at least they didn't go bankrupt from the troll toll.
If you make a game with Unity, you are locked to Unity, and you can't move to other engine without rewriting the whole game.
And since games take years to develop (even the indie ones, at least the good indies), nobody can justify dropping years of work.
if someone refuses then they need to drop unity or face the consequences
Breach of contract is a thing, anon.
unity has malware in it since like 2010 that can connect to the internet without the need for open ports and ignores firewalls.
also trust me bro.
Made up numbers
>Unity adds microtransactions to devs
>devs get super mad
Curious.
underrated post
Holy shit
yeah im really looking forward to hundreds of games just disappearing suddenly because the dev doesn't want his 5 year old finished game that he moved on from to randomly drain his bank account
shit people better start archiving this shit because you know fags are going to just take shit down without a second thought.
Games cannot be removed from Steam by publishers/developers, only delisted. They will still be installable. They will still be charged.
In exceptional circumstances games have been completely removed from steam, even from purchasers. This probably counts as one. Either Unity counts this as an exceptional circumstance and doesn't charge for delisted installs or Steam counts this as an exceptional circumstance and makes the game inaccessible to people who purchased it.
Then why do I see games removed all the time? They took down Dark Souls PTDE and replaced it with the remaster for example, and now keys for that game are like $1,200 dollars.
Wait hold the fuck up this sucks. I'm sure lots of my literally who games are made in Unity. Best case scenario is it just delays any future sequels until they move to a new engine. Worst case scenario is all updates, DLC, and even the game itself could be permanently inaccessible unless someone bothers to archive a pirated copy
Is someone trying to kill the engine or something? Can't really understand why they would do that, do any other game engine do this?
Don't you know this guy's history? We had lots of memes about him 10 years ago.
I'm talking about Riccitiello of course, who is making these things happen.
so, was he the one to kill Westwood?
Yes, it was him. He also did the same with Bullfrog and Origin Systems.
But like, does he really think that people is just going to do what he wants? Also how does he expects to enforce this in fucking china if the endgoal is to get some of the genshin pie.
The endgoal is to bankrupt the company and he gets a nice severance check. He just recently sold all his stocks.
Is Unity Chinese? I guess it will be afterwards.
He can't. Mihoyo is protected by the CCP and already has their own fork of Unity and has repeatedly told Unity Corp to fuck off. They're in the clear.
That's a delisting, Anon. People who already own PTDE can still install it through Steam, and that's why those keys are so expensive on resell sites. Steam only delists games, hardly ever removing them unless it's something like child porn.
I guess I misunderstood your definition of delist. The game not being purchasable is what I'm talking about, not that it hasn't been stripped away from the account of anyone who bought it. That would be ridiculous.

FOSS is the only way forward.
Target the browser, standardized access to all the hardware. The Steam release is just a wrapper for a browser instance, like Steam is.
I'll give you a hint, it starts with "J" and ends with the letter "EWS" as seen in
Damn it, why would Jugs of mountain dews do this?
Why do you think they kept getting kicked out of cities in europe? it's written in their sacred text that they have to screw you over, muslims at least are upfront about their hostility, garden gnomes are insidious fuckers.
I fucking knew it was Jacob's nephews, can't trust those little shits.
gaming sucks
>>"Our only hope is indie devs"!
This is a shit meme. Indie games are no better than AAA games. For every AAA game Ganker despises for "wokeness" and trannies there's 10 indies that do the same. You just never hear about them when they flop or impress nobody, as opposed to AAA which is always under a microscope.
>Who do we blame for this.
Redditors will tell you "the rich" but it doesn't take a lot of research to learn that the company Unity merged last year is from Tel Aviv.
>last year is from Tel Aviv.
I fucking told everyone that when it comes to Israel, no one is safe. I knew some gnomish shit was about to come out and I hate being right
>"Our only hope is indie devs"!
Who is the retard that unironically think this is true?
How indies are even supposed to save videogames? By releasing cheap shovelware and making new generation developing bad taste?
I'm a game dev and I was able to disable the events sent from my game that I think will be used to monitor "installs" in their new shitty plan.
It can be done easily with a build pre-processor, reverting the mandatory activation of the UnityConnectSettings m_enabled variable when you
build the game.
The code is simple:
void DisableAnalytics()
{
SerializedObject _unityConnectSettingsAsset = new SerializedObject(EditorResources.Load<Object>("ProjectSettings/UnityConnectSettings.asset"));
var _enabled = _unityConnectSettingsAsset.FindProperty("m_Enabled");
_enabled.boolValue = false;
var _b = _unityConnectSettingsAsset.FindProperty("UnityAnalyticsSettings").FindPropertyRelative("m_InitializeOnStartup");
_b.boolValue = false;
_unityConnectSettingsAsset.ApplyModifiedProperties();
AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();
}
just call this in a build pre processor with prio exec order and you're cleared.
When the game starts, two packets are sent to these adresses:
https://config.uca.cloud.unity3d.com
https://cdp.cloud.unity3d
Those packets contains the device ID, time played, country and some other info. With the above code, no more packets are sent.
If this is indeed what's used to track users, when disabling this, they will have no way to know, and their shit is DOA.
Every new release will be inspected to see if it uses Unity and illegally disables features
tracking users without consent is illegal, we'll see who wins. Also what are they gonna do? It might be a bug idk
I'm sure they're going to put some shit in that says you're in violation of their contract if you do this. Probably already do. Still, based as fuck.
Again, sending private user data to a server without the user consent's is illegal (EU - GDPR), so by deactivating this, we're only following the law, and it supersedes any contract
who gives a flying fuck what the EU says
most of the world does.
the EU was responsible for a lot of sweeping changes globally such as the GDPR and steam giving refunds.
Pretty sure Steam refunds was because of Australian consumer protection law, at least in part.
It was, EUfags love to forget about Straya
Why?
Because they are full of themselves.
nope it was because of germany urging the eu to implement refunds on digital goods and the eu then threatened to kick steam out of the eu.
>who gives a flying fuck what the EU says
100k european devs and also Unity who has offices all over europe
>Unity games are mostly shit
>mocked as a worst public engine out there
>what do?
>riddle it with DRM
I hate this pastime... It's the smell -- if there's such a thing... It's everywhere.
I actually prefer the look of Unity 3D to most Unreal Engine games. Most of the time you can't even guess a 3D game is made in Unity, where as it's obvious for UE.

How the F this shit is legal
You don’t owe them money for prior installs, which would definitely be illegal, but they are counting prior installs towards your total for whether or not you reach the install thresholds.
This is completely insane of them. Its downright malicious.

Did you notice they nuked Unity Plus? 🙂
Now it’s Free or Pro.
Unity+ devs are being forced onto auto-renewed Unity Pro for triple to quadruple the price: pictured is an Anon's fees for a two-man project access dev team.
Man my hands are really cold all of a sudden.
>$764.45
Hmm, that's not too bad.
*scrolls down*
WHAT THE FUCK?! I'm not even a dev and I feel as pissed off as I did when I saw that my insurance doubled for no reason.
Come home small dev
Ghis really fucks over patreon h-games. They can make enogh money for this to hurt.
Most people following a game will reinstall it multiple times as the game gets updated.
Sometimes they allow a separate free/demo version either with limited content or a past build. Those extra installs will add up.
And with these small h-games you don't often have only 1 dev, so that 200k+ is split between a small handful of people.
I was going to make a Unity h-game, but now I'll have to use godot or something else because this could financially fuck me.
But a donation isnt the same as buying the game.
>Ghis really fucks over patreon h-games. They can make enogh money for this to hurt.
it doesnt.
free versions of unity dont pay the fees.
the fees only apply to games that charge a price or have micro transactions.
as long as a game is freely distributed its not subject ot the new price changes.
>This really fucks over patreon h-games.
Good, fuck patreonfags
It renders the platform literally unusable, there is no upper cost limit and installs are trivial to fabricate. If your game breaches 200k in revenue Unity can turn around and charge you 10 million in installation fees because they or someone else ran a botnet on your installation stats for a few days.
it doesnt. patreon games are free and dont charge money.
nothing will happen to free h-games.
only those that are sold on steam need to worry.
also most h-games use renpy instead of unity so most is a moot point.
didnt meant to quote
No. If you make updates to your "free" game conditional on donations on Patreon, it is automatically considered a commercial game and you are subject to the same rules as everyone else. This applies to both Unity and Unreal Engine.
If you offer the game for free on Patreon, however, and the tiers are only symbolic for those who want to help you, then the game is considered free.
But it's not as if Patreon games have one update a day, most take months to update and when it comes to Unity, there's probably some way of creating an update that doesn't require a fresh install.
And contrary to what these anons said:
games monetized on Patreon are not considered "free" games and have to conform to Unity's TOS. As soon as one of Patreon's tiers involves access to the game, it is automatically considered a commercial project.
The only way to escape this is if you offer the game for free on Patreon and the tiers are symbolic things.
I doubt they can legally get money off old games and for the new ones nobody would use it.
So they basically killed themselves.
>N-no they said it will work retroactively
Good luck with that
Seems like it is turning into an unenforceable nothing burger.
>Unity: your game was installed 50 billion times, so you use us 500 million dollars

Good luck. Brave is the one to try and take bread from TPC’s table.
Is it even legal to retroactively apply fees like this? I feel like they're gonna get their shit slapped by some regulatory body.
They unironically think they can scam money off Pokémon Go, they are in for a rude awakening
for all those poor unity devs how hard is it going to be to transfer their work onto another engine like unreal. I honestly feel bad for those who are now too far into development to restart
Unreal is a completely different language. So even if you know both C++ and C#, it is a HUGE change with countless implications and complications. Godot is C# so its a little more viable, but Godot isnt suitable for every type of game.
so a unity to godot pipeline is more reasonable?
looks like you're about to see godot wave
For some games yeah. But even then, Godot is totally different. There arent straight conversions for everything. So its a massive project to change
>but Godot isnt suitable for every type of game

so somehow yet again this doesn't affect piracy but fucks normal legitimate users
So...how will this work with Unity games released on GOG? I mean I doubt they considered that because even the IP statement is fucking retarded but still.
Doesn't that mean every unity game installer will be always online? Isn't that impossible?

This is scumbag behavior.
Studios should probably avoid working with them in future games.
Don't think Unity will have a future
It was already done but the parasites want to add to the momentum of the crash and profit on that. Line goes up, line goes down, doesn't matter as long as line goes.

Reminder the 20 cents thing is just if you're using the cheapest version of Unity (indie devs)
Actual big boy devs using the expensive tools only pay 1 cent per download past a certain point and like 0.005 cents if its being installed in a 3rd world country, so they won't even feel it. This is just another way to attack indie games so you're forced to play AAA slop.
No one cares about the money it's about how Unity is going to be charging people based on installs and instances of usage.
.0005 times infinity is how much, again?

It really is a scorched earth method huh? Either they get away with it and reel in the big bucks or Unity gets wiped off the internet.

just like usual download pages
1 disappears and 20 new ones are created . same will happen
Before that happens, Unity will be bought.
You can only hope it fails. The industry genuinely needs to be taught a lesson regarding software licenses. Especially amateur devs.
My theory is that the Chinese(working through Tencent) are responsible for this

Anon, this has nothing with being digital or not.
This is more about SAAS.
If games get pulled from online stores it will be a major issue.
