That would require core programming skills that most game dev doesnt have
Yeah that worked out well for Microsoft
It did work out well for Nintendo. See: BotW, TotK

unity shareholders have already been exposed for selling stock before this moron announcement and they’ll rescind it after the backlash and be heroes again and their reddit cuck fanbase will go crawling back to them just like blizzard did
theyre solely playing the stock market to buy the inevitable dip, they dont give a shit about the indie devs and they never will
That's not how selling shares of your own company works mongoloid
shareholders sell near peak
company self sabotages
shareholders buy the dip
company announces some groundbreaking recovery plan or something pro-consumer
stock recovers and shareholders reinvestment 100xes
these companies stagnate and can never grow without rapid innovation so they sell, tank their own company to ‘rebuild’ and profit off the suckers that think they really care
shit like disney does that all the time, release slop like the black mermaid then release some mainstream trendslop like a new star wars series and recover
The insiders need to declare to the SEC they are selling well in advance of the sale. I'm sure everyone in management had a roadmap for the year regardless and knew all these moves would not be received well. But still, it's not like jim riggatoni woke up and decided to sell the day before.
>download gog game

not anon, but what unity basically said is they will use the data they already have from being in the ad business (aka, they buy data from facebook, google, microsoft. your ISP, etc, and buid a profile using your real name or what they think your real name is and all your usernames, they use that profile to give targeted advertisements which makes more money than giving random advertisements which pays off for the cost of buying the data).
They have your hardware info, software info, IP, name, user names, and that means if you don't exist, aka you creates a unique mac address, new IP, etc, they would not find an identity, which means they would assume the installation is fraud, just like how they would use this system to prevent people from using bots to click on ads. You could write bots to click on ads, but you are basically creating an entire personality on the internet, it's possible that you MUST have a facebook/google/etc account before the bot is considered real, so you need a botting system that can circumvent the anti-botting systems those companies use (just because the account was created doesn't mean you pass the checks, they need a certain amount of data).
>download unity game
>install
>instantly uninstall
>create virtual machine
>change ip and spoof mac address
>repeat
no I'm saying that if you could create a bot that could reinstall the game for the purpose of hurting a developer, that's exactly the same as making a bot to click on ads (if you made a game and want to make money from bots clicking your ads).
If there were ad clicking bots in existence, you would not want to share this with anyone because you made an infinate money printing glitch.
But it turns out it costs more than 15 cents (or whatever the impression gives) to make this work, and it's impossible if they made really hard anti-botting requirements like having a unique google/facebooke/etc account with real information (they can prove you are real by using ISP data, like checking if the mandatory phone number is a real number, which is impossible to fake).
Unfortunately after doing so much work to make a online identity, once your identity clicks on a bunch of ads, and they find out all the money goes to you, they will suspect fraud, so now you need to do the classic fraud trick of making the path of money really complicated using a bunch of separate companies, and create more bots. The problem is that realistically, ads make very little money, and the time spent per click + setup costs probably is more than the money you get out of it, and it wouldn't be hard for the ad service to figure out what you are doing and ban your bots and blacklist your game / ad service / sue you.
whatever happened to empirical measurement
this shit is nothing more than pseudo-science and "dude bro trust me, the AI model says it's true sop therefore it must be true"
anon are you absolutely moronic?
this has nothing to do with AI, this is 2007 shit, facebook pioneered it.
why do you think you get so many services for free when it costs billions to create the servers and run?
yes it is pseudo-science, there are no hard numbers, only predictions and models upon models relying on traffic and clicks
somewhere along the way the real data gets obfuscated and turned into a river of shit
>it costs billions to create the servers and run?
it doesn't cost billions to set up server farms, and "data" is one of the cheapest things on the planet.
anon, server farms are cheap, but employment is not. But even at scale, one rack at one of those rack holders probably costs $100,000. and they upgrade that shit every 5 years (they sell it to the used market). Plus the cost of data, you can easily be bankrupt hosting a website if too many people download your shit, businesses get a discount, but not a big one to ignore.
I stand my ground, I think facebook/google/microsoft/apple/etc spend billions on server farms, give me proof maybe I might believe it's millions, but I still think it could be 100 billion or more (the hardware is in millions, probably the least expensive compared to data and employment)

Ah yes, they may not know 100% it's you, but 99% it's you and they will count that as you anyway.
but they also claim that if you install it on different devices, like say a tower PC, a laptop, a Steam Deck, they do count it
how far is the limit
how much will they assume are actually legitimate different devices, and when will they assume it's a malicious actor trying to frick with the system. what if more and more people start trying to frick with the system, AdNauseam style?
Lot of effort to steal 20 cents from a million dollar company.
Funny, but worthless.
That's a lot of effort because you have to do it 200k times to make a difference, but I respect the autism.
Can any codemonkeys or even a script kiddie post a script we can use for this? I fricking NEED to frick over devs I don't like.
Some anon already came up with something yesterday. But this only works after January 1st, and you may have to do some additional shit like VM and fake your MAC and IP address to pretend you're installing on a new device.
Excellent. I wish I was CS enough to understand how to use this but I know there plenty of people who are. And if even one AAA company gets assraped thats good enough for me.
They've just been copy-pasting this response everywhere and all it does is piss people off more
new camelot shinging force mainline entry FRICKING NEVER EVER IN A TRILLION YEARS NEVER NEVER NEVER REEEEEEEE
because the response is literally "dude trust us"
That fricking response lmao.
How the frick would they even know if you installed a pirated copy? Wouldn't it all be offline?
Not unless you block internet access. Most cracks just edits the Steam DLL.
I use a proprietary closed source antivirus and block any singleplayer game from phoning home.
you think nu pirates know how to operate a computer ?
they just install a troony repack of their choice and double click the .exe
I turn my firewall on for pirated copies of shit. it's not that much of an inconvenience.
>Ads technology
oh joy they are putting ads in the fricking thing now on top of all that shit?
that was the entire point, unity wants free games to use their ad services.
don't forget that they merged with that mobile advertising company.
>an install-based fee allows creators to keep the ongoing financial gains from player engagement.
The old license was based on sales, right? So this doesn't make any sense if applied to the old license. So what they're saying with this is that they considered not just charging for installs but charging for every transaction made in a unity game and thought the install-based fee was an acceptable compromise.
>better balance the value exchange
Devs paid too little for Unity's service is what this means.
This is a pretty blatant money grabbing move and there's no way they weren't expecting this level of backlash. They might give way a little to show "goodwill" but in the end nothing's really going to change in my opinion. This is set and done.
>now
They copy and pasted this same answer for like twenty questions
>Pirate game
>Install and uninstall it 600 time
>Bankrupt developers and publishers
Fricking finally.
Time to burn down this shit industry one and for all!
Fool. I'll just stagger my packet uploads with an IP and MAC randomizer.
they're not going to go through with this because they'll get fricking sued, and if they do it'll be a class action lawsuit at that
how would they know if someone pirates it
all unity game have telemetry bullshit hidden in them, even in pirated versions
>block game in firewall
>Add an Inbound and Outbond firewall rule
>Block connection
>Windows asks "What for, Anon?"
>Shitty_UnityAssetFlip_420.exe
>"Done!"
???
I'm sure you'll be able to convince every pirate to do this, just to help out the devs
It's not about the devs, it's about blocking telemetry, dummy.
What gets me is people don't use a whitelist for their firewall - you should be blocking everything by default.
You are. Windows asks you when launching a new program to allow it through the firewall (everywhere? in home network?) and you have to answer it. If you cancel, it defaults to blocked.
>Windows asks you when launching a new program to allow it through the firewall (everywhere? in home network?)
What? Windows don't doesn't do that.
because windows doesn't do for outgoing connections so people don't even know it's happening.
Yes. Yes you should.
>have to pay 20 cents to post on Ganker
>malware company buys unity
>it becomes malware
Literally this. Once they announced the merging with a malware company it was pretty obvious that Unity was a no-go for a engine and yet people still kept using it. This frickers are going to keep using Unity even after this.
Never ceases to amaze me that torrenting is perfect for music and has been basically perfected over the last 20 years but not many people do it and just about everyone pays for a Spotify account. Fricking moronic
because gabe was right. People are willing to pay for shit that's convenient and just werks. The people that aren't were never going to buy it in the first place
>because gabe was right.
That quote is correct, but he doesn't practice what he was preaching then. Steam is very intrusive and restrictive and gives an inferior customer experience to pirating. Until all Steam games can be run without Steam installed and updates become purely optional, Gaben remains a hypocrite.
steam's drm is optional, up to the developers and usually necessary for steamworks features, in any case it's so lightweight it can be disabled in 5 seconds using open source tools
>Steam is very intrusive and restrictive and gives an inferior customer experience to pirating.
elaborate if you can moron
Steam itself is DRM. Want to install the game you just bought? Gotta install Gaben's crapware. And the game still usually needs steam files to launch to make you dependent on it.
>Steam is very intrusive and restrictive
I have zero programing skills and I can crack steam DRM
You are not aware how bad the state of pc gaming was (for people who did not pirate) 20 years ago, before steam started it's colossal effort to give consumers one marketplace to download games that all 'just work' immediately
gabe doesnt even run steam anymore
>Until all Steam games can be run without Steam installed and updates become purely optional,
you can kinda do that but it's up to the devs
It's hard to get into a good private tracker without knowing someone in "the scene" and the interviews for them are really intrusive. I don't want to tell some random shadow man on IRC my personal info.
>the interviews for them are really intrusive. I don't want to tell some random shadow man on IRC my personal info.
what are you talking about? lol
if any private tracker asks you for anything more sensitive than your internet speed then it's a shit tracker anyway.
That's for if you want to download files; favoriting a song and putting it in a playlist is simpler.
>pay $9.99/month for Spotify, get instant access to over 82 million songs, no questions asked
>or interview for a private tracker with some shady dark web guy you don't know and give them your personal information for them to dig through
not anon but I only torrent music for discographies, which usually have a bunch of extra goodies that are hard to fine.
I don't like spotify because I don't listen to my favorite songs, I watch them, aka the music video / concert.
I'm a hipster homosexual though, so if you just like whatever zoomers are listening to, and you don't care where spotify will be in 20 years, I guess spotify is fine, and technically you could just use piracy software to convert all the songs to music files if you wanted.
*I forgot to mention that I just download from youtube, aka using yt-dlp (formerly youtube-dl).
I used to use audacity to just record the song manually, but I still use it when I want to edit a song if it's a combination of multiple songs or just apply a filter that makes the noise levels the same as other songs.
you seem to put a lot of trust in corporations
>give them your personal information
no private tracker asks for your personal information other than an email address (so they can send you an invitation link)
Life isn't a Mr Robot episode you fricking dumbass lmao
>private trackers
You know you can pirate torrents from private trackers, right?
If I'm in my car and randomly think of a song I want to listen to, torrents are useless. Spotify is nice though.
I pay 2$ a month for my Spotify account because i'm a student. Why should i bother with torrenting? It really is that simple.
As
said. If your service is better and more convenient than piracy, people won't pirate.
yeah but pricepoint and prioritizing become factors here
spotifiy is absolute garbage. I can't find 99% of shit I look up on there. sanitized, homogenized, slop.
>just about everyone pays for a Spotify account.
i dont know a single person who pays for a spotify account, but they must be getting money from somewhere to pay for all the shit they shovel huge amounts of money at. everyone I know just watches youtube for music.
Spotify is free, and the monthly sub cost me less than half an hour of work.
You can write a song in 10 minutes
As someone who spent a lot of time curating a lossless collection of my favorite music, much of which is obscure, it's hardly worth the trouble. Spotify is convenient and has a ton of shit I would have never found or heard just torrenting. I used to live on Soulseek and still have a good amount of lossless music, but it's not practical.
>open telegram
>type spotify in the search bar
>dozens of channels with thousands of subscribers dedicate to pirated software
>download cracked spotify
>have infinity music for free with no ads nor interruption
It had never been that easy to pirate software. Zoomers and applegays should kill themselves.
will it work on my phone? IDK Spotify is whatever to me, the only thing I have pirated for like 20 years now is Adobe products because frick those greedy pieces of shit. They are the only company I have been using since I was a kid I've never given them a dime.
Yes, if you own an Android phone then it's as easy as downloading it from Google Play store. Of you own an Iphone it should be possible but it's harder. Usually there are instructions even for the most tech illiterates.
Thank you for the info.
I just use youtube, I can even youtube-dl entire playlists, and it's way more practical than torrenting it lol I haven't torrented a song since 2009
I can't believe the amount of moronic normals replying to you.
This board really has gone to shit.
>you must pirate because... because...
it's my choice homosexual, and my money do you think I care about being "le ebin rebel 4chinner"
>and just about everyone pays for a Spotify account
I buy CDs
Goat
I use YouTube because my adblockers stopped working on Spotify.
it's because people got bamboozled into spending on services they don't really need. amount isn't important here because it won't break anyone's bank, it's the fact you're continually spending on shit you don't even use most of the time. they got you.
Spotify doesn't have toe hoe dowjean music or the videogame OSTs that I want
The only good thing about spotify is that it suggests pretty alright music sometimes so it's good for discovering new artists you want to look into.
What ultra niche obscure Touhou do you even listen to?
It's been like 5 years since I opened spotify, but I do remember it not having circles like Pizuya's Cell, Akatsuki Records and Demetori.
Now I wouldn't say any of those are niche, I think they're some of the bigger circles.
If you want other recommendations I've grown to like Amateras and Paradot, like the collabs that they do which lets me discover other artists. Going through the Halozy & flap+frog discographies now seeing what I like.
Fair. I listen to niche Touhou Jazz circles with 2k monthly listeners or less and it's worth it. I'm glad those are on Spotify.
I think it's definitely worth it for them to upload their stuff to spotify for discoverability.
But I feel like some nip artists are really old fashioned and insist on only selling CDs at events, so stumbling on them if you're not already a fan is difficult.
They have those now, I think a lot of the bigger circles are uploading to it now. I still don't use spotify, but, they are getting more and more Japanese stuff often.
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1E4wjiNTkluugq
So I went to check it out and it's confusing as hell.
For one, the playlist is completely different depending if I view it logged in or not.
For two, every single actual Demetori track is greyed out and unplayable. They're removed completely if I log in.
Songs being greyed out is something I actually remember happening a lot, probably one of the main reasons I went back to just playing my own stuff.
It's worth mentioning that you can download every song off Bandcamp if you copy-paste the album page into JDownloader2 or get some browser extension. This guy is on there: https://40nix.bandcamp.com
I mostly listen to those made in the .nsf format that work in NES emulators and Winamp with an NSF plugin. There's a Chinese guy that goes by Thow or 豆豆 that does covers of the official games and the fangames on here: http://nsf.nesbbs.com
Thats some autistic shit, will have a listen later
>It's worth mentioning that you can download every song off Bandcamp if you copy-paste the album page into JDownloader2 or get some browser extension
Wow just like that? Jesus. Lemme try it out.
Wow, so it works. But it defaults to 128kbps? That's gonna be a no-go from me anon.

Soulseek already perfected music sharing

>doesn't get a response the first time

kek, what a homosexual
streaming is too convenient especially on mobile. desktop version is free too. why would i go back to curating some digital collection and doing everything manually? i dont really give a shit anymore.
I just use soulseek for music
idk, it works, always has what I want, good info about the quality
it just works.
Shhhhh
Normalgays are moronic cucks, more at 12.
I don't understand Spotify in general, most of the music I listen to isn't on it, it's just another radio station.
I pirate all my music because Spotify's selection sucks.
If it amazes you as to why that is the case, you're plenty moronic yourself
If it wasn't for Spotify and YouTube a lot of musical genres would've died in the early 2000s.
It's actually not perfect for music, because it's short form content in many cases, so there's too much overhead. Often I want to check out a couple of songs instead of a whole album, and it's way faster with Spotify. And it really helps that music streaming still doesn't have many of the issues of other types of streaming like content fragmentation and exclusivity, having to pay on top of subscription, inferior quality (no, you can't tell FLAC and 320kbps MP3 apart).
I don't use anything for music, I just download whatever I want or listen to it on youtube.
>carrying around 680gb of 320kbps mp3s on your phone
I use xmanager and get Spotify premium for free
very cheap and convenient
i cant torrent while driving
youre a poorgay
Spotify is free for my computer, just removes the ads in the flies and your good. Or just youtube with ad block on
doesn't even take knowhow anymore you can easily just find the song on youtube and ripped the audio out with free software. have the song in .5 seconds
Spotify is cheap. I can justify expending less than 10 minutes worth of my salary to not have to spend days of my life individually acquiring each and every track. You will never get those multiple days of time back. I never have to deal with that conundrum. The only people who pirate music in 2023 are NEETs who value days of their time for $10.
Video game piracy is easily justifiable when games costs $500 for the complete edition. I will never buy a game unless it's
>fully released with no more additions coming
>the total sum of the game and additional content is $60 or lower
>individually acquiring each and every track
Ever heard of discographies?
Hope a hacker cracks the telemetry so devs get charged 10 times for every instance instead of once
It'd be funnier if someone made a literal game of it.
Imagine a gacha game that just randomly rolls PC stats and sends the results of every roll back through the telemetry.
>people actually think they aren't going to use a unique digital fingerprint
>imply that they aren't already doing this already to keep track of how many people are playing the game, and what parts of the game they stop playing
also before someone says "VM machine with unique ID's reset, using VPN for new IP"
they said they were using a data model for detecting it.
that basically means they are using big data, aka they buy the data from facebook, google, etc, and they match your fingerprint against their data and if they confirm your identity they make the developer pay. If you use a VPN and VM and etc, they will know if you are using some anonymous shit, and even if you could spoof the info, I doubt it would be cheap enough to make it worth it. If you paid $500 (in internet/VPN, and your time) to make developer pay $100, was it worth it? Wouldn't it be more cost effective to just pay someone to ddos their servers if you had that much disposable income?
Imagine being a unity dev after this
>Dude we're gonna charge you for every install

If they charge for an "install" that doesn't correlate to a sale they will instantly find themselves in court which they will immediately lose. Good God, "people" here are beyond moronic.
>implying American courts will care
American courts care if you have enough money to throw a pile of lawyers at them which Disney, Microsoft, Mihoyo, Cygames, Actiblizz, and dozens of others definitely do. You underestimate just how many people Unity is pissing off if they go through with this.
Yeah they will not care for Unity's case where they demand money for nothing.

Anons, our dreams are no longer just memes. We can quite literally kill the video game industry now
they already walked back the "per install" thing to "per initial install", the meme dream of destroying the indie gaming industry has already been dashed.
Unityfugees, don't be shy, there is only room for love in our community
Shut up chud, install Unreal Engine instead
Lol unreal lags when you open a empty projects. Why the frick did they made mountains in a empty levels and that homosexual sky.
Seems just made to attract morons like a moron candy car
cope
i cant even run unreal on my pc, is godot a decent toaster engine to work in?
you could run it on a raspberry pi
appreciate the help, thank you
Finally my godot game will shine (in 3 years if I don't shoot myself before)
learn too code. people 30 years ago did not need some fancy program to code games
yesh but due to feature creep one developer cannot realistically implement all the features you need for a modern game
then make smaller games if you are working on it alone
>you've lived to see this joke become a reality

Reminder that the CEO and at least 2 directors are clearly engaging in insider trading

Reminder that Goichi Suda had Travis beat up and kill a parody of him in the last two No More Heroes games.
no they're just really savvy business men anon, surely
insider trading should be legal, they let the market know something was up by selling before this news dropped. more efficient and helps prevent crashes where everyone acts all at once and then stop losses get triggered and then jim kramer starts yelling CANCEL ALL ORDERS and they halt trading for the day.
that said hope they frick that butthole ceo up lmao.
I'm not a game dev so maybe someone can answer this but, is UNITY more indie dev friendly and do the majority of indie devs use it? If so that about explains this.
Don't like it? Make your own game engine. Simple as
this is all happening because you refuse to let gaming get influenced by inflation and not raise the price. YOU made this happen
So, is Godot any good?
Yeah. Light as well.
For a big project, which no one works here, there's unreal.
Is godot good for 3d game?
If you have a vision just go with Unreal dude. There's a reason many studios have made the switch.
>just pay several million dollars for licensing
Sure
What.
Ah yes, a new reason to pirate just dropped
>applying this retroactively
they really are going full moron mode. I hope devs tell them to frick off instead.
Can I get a quick rundown?
I'm only just hearing about this now. From what I understand, if developers build their GAME on Unity and someone then buys and installs that GAME, the Developer is then charged for the user installing the GAME? This isn't them charging for the development kits or anything on the professional side?
Girls Frontline runs on unity?
rip unity, I loved to hate you.
pepes once again predict the future
But hey, maybe Tarkov will finally get a good engine?
qrd?
For me? Just using piratebay, or actually buying music off bandcamp if it's a smol band I like, and saving the MP3s
Real question, why is almost every Unity game so laggy and ugly?
I hope Owlscat and all the Shitfinder games die because of this change
That's nice but I seriously doubt a lot of the big developers are willing to pay this. Genshin is probably the biggest Unity game and they are behind the Chinese wall. No repercussions either way.
Why don't they just start taking revenue based royalties like Unreal does? Charging a flat rate based off installs makes no sense.
Wait, assuming for a moment that all this goes through
>developer delists an old game using Unity after January 2024
>players can still download and install purchased games in their Steam / GOG / Epic libraries, or just pirate them
>Unity wants to charge for every installation
Who's going to foot the bill?
Regardless of this new fee, I dunno what happens to the engine license if the contract with the developer runs out but Steam still lets you download it
I don't see how they can retroactively charge you for this.
>Make game 5 years ago
>Release game under old license
>Never sign new license
>Never download new development kit versions etc.
>No informal or formal license exchange since games release
>Illegally employ a new license that somehow overrides old licenses and then demand money for it
I'm sure that lawyers are going to love this
>*turns off you game*
>I AM THE LAW!
As I got it the game needs to produce $200K per year so delisting would actually work. But it still sucks that devs have to do that to be safe. Also I wonder how are they going to track those profits with Patreon or Itch
it's over
>mostly
>initial install
That's bad. It's leaving money on the table. They can charge them per install.
israelite company
anon was ahead of it's time, a real pirate human bean
moron
One question
How do Silksong devs feel right now
turning to swansong
oof
>Does he know?
The Chinks are on another level, you can't operate in their country without handing over your bussiness
Genshin isn't using Unity they are using Unity (China) so they won't have to pay
I'm genuinely surprised people are surprised about this. Did anyone seriously think Unity merging with notorious Israeli malware, adware and spyware manufacturer IronSource wasn't going to have any negative consequences?
