Loud criticism from the developers, who threatened to switch to another engine, helped change the management’s opinion. Unity. The company that created the engine of the same name apologizes for the confusion and promises to make changes.
Last Tuesday, Unity announced a new pricing policy based on the number of installs of games using its technology. But she immediately called massive reaction from developers. Unity representatives tried to mitigate the impact by explaining that only the first installation on a specific hardware would always be counted, but game developers still objected and warned against rushing to competitions, for example, to the more profitable Unreal Engine from Epic Games. But creating games in it is more difficult.
“We hear you. We apologize for the confusion and confusion caused by the game installation fee we announced last Tuesday. We have spoken with our team members, community, customers and partners and will be making changes to the new license. We will provide more detailed information in the coming days. Thank you for your honest and critical response.” wrote Unity on social networks.
Even if Unity ends up abandoning this plan, so be it. many developers have lost faith in this company and do not want to create more games on this engine. If only for the reason that Unity does not respect the purchased licenses and wanted to change them. And this is without prior notice. They are also concerned about the use of the word “confusion”, which suggests that the developers do not understand Unity’s plans, which is not the case. They call on Unity to simply remove this provision entirely and not change it. This looks more like a policy change rather than a cancellation of the Unity Runtime Fee.
Much to the chagrin of Harry Newman, who reports that Rust 2 it definitely won’t work on the Unity engine. About engine replacement they think also in the studio Mega critwhere they are working on a new project based on the popular game Slay the Spire.
