Is there a point creating a betting pool when the odds are 1:0?

The blatant disregard for privacy leading to unfounded claims and a very serious threat. Unity continues to spiral, this is fucked.

This is what happens with any company that we allow to be run by someone who's goal isn't improving the company but milking it for all its worth for shareholders and personal profit.

How widespread is this issue? Are a lot of Unity developers affected?

While Unity is still the best option for 3d small-to-medium scale projects IMO, it depends entirely on what the project needs. If your 3d assets don't have that much in terms of needs, then Godot is fine. Or whatever other 3d engine you want to use, but Unreal would be overkill IMO.

I'll agree with you on the binaries and bloat for the most part, but it is often exagerated. There are some great resources for stripping down UE5 now, and indie projects I've helped on have been able to get down to almost nothing, and run on mobile/Steam Deck/Switch with great performance.

BP performance is actually comparible to C++ in most tasks that indie games require, and plugins have made up for a lot, like sorting algorithms and anything that iterates over large arrays every frame. Also UE5 C++ can be learned by anyone coming from C# and is fast for dev with hot recompile.

nah it really isn't

#Unity is probably trying to extract as much money as possible from their customers before their brand tanks. With UE taking the lead, and Godot on the rise - #Unity is scrambling to take as much money as possible before they collapse and are bought. I can’t imagine choosing them for a game now.

"Hey we're gonna revoke your licence from incorrect data we weren't supposed to be collecting"

lol I’ve sworn off Unity for life. They seem incapable of respecting their user base. Godot 4eva!

.. heck even Unity’s Stockholm office is shared with other companies.

No he didn’t say exact address, he said that their _accountant_ that received their mail was located at the same location as the other company (likely referring to a building). Now if the accountants were handling the other company as well, their business address (not the one given to Unity)

Oh yeah I agree with you. I think this happened at my former studio too before we had an IT dept to do regular software audits. My previous comment was about the Reddit title. I don’t believe it was scraped data.

I meant “…not start…”

That's assuming a little too much for comfort I think. Especially the two employees from the same address but another company, which is just a legitimate situation whether they changed the address or not. And for the others I'd like some specific evidence from Unity included in the email.

They would never do that... 😏 /s

This looks wild. I'll have to give it a shot

Another really interesting option! Thank you!

Unreal Bp/C++ isn't much more difficult than C# if you already have experience, and Godot ain't so bad when you get over the idiosyncrasies. Good luck!

Unity’s being a bitch again? Didn’t they learn not to fuck around last time?

What more is there to say Unity executives haven't heard before? Warning devs not to use Unity is the best we can do anymore, backlash is the only thing that seems to really get through. There are simply better tools that don't come with the business risk. 🤷‍♂️

Can be but I heavily disagree as game engines can limit you in ways that are detrimental to some ideas and projects. It's more if time is on your side and you specifically want to develop all the intricacies of your game. You can very much ship game w/ custom engine if you commit.

And if you want a suggestion out of left field: Roblox gives you networking/multiplayer and physics and monetization and publishing for free! And haven't yet tried to squeeze their creators.
