Unity finally addressed their controversial runtime fees that would charge developers each time their game was installed on a new device. The news is hopeful, but there’s still a lot of work to be done after the trust was lost.

I'm actually thinking of making C++ tutorials for Unreal Engine after this incident. During my time with Unreal Engine I realized almost every tutorial is about Blueprints and almost no tutorial is about C++. Since I already had C++ experience it was not so hard for me to learn the Unreal Engine API but I can already imagine it would be pretty hard for a newcomer to learn without a guidance since C++ is a complex but rewarding language as well as Unreal Engine.

@kazmaBlends 9 месяцев назад

@Isaac9pd 9 месяцев назад

Really sucks that the head leaders of Unity did this to begin with. They certainly destroyed the faith the developers had with Unity. Many moving to Godot or Unreal. And although Godot and Unreal are both good, they have some downsides. Godot is easy use and many hardware can run it due to being lightweight, but according to some people and reviews, it’s not as powerful and stable. Whereas Unreal, it’s more stable and powerful but it’s more resource heavy and harder to use. Unity falls between Godot and Unreal in these aspects. I had to take a pause on learning game development to see how all of this goes on over the next few week or months before making my next move

@samyam 9 месяцев назад

Yeah pros and cons to all of them, but hopefully Godot will see more changes since it’s open source and a lot of Unity devs will be moving to it!

@lDeath489 9 месяцев назад

Unity cons are way worst than other engines XD. The fact that they still have a form of [RunTime fee] is evidence of what their future looks like. They will eventually increase the 2.5% ''to keep the company profitable'' and RunTime will be normalized as the cheaper option until enough developers get used to it then they force the policy on everyone and control how much they want to bill developers. The outcome will be way worst than subscriptions. You will feel like you work for unity. You will not feel like you have your own business. You will feel stuck since you invested even more years into this dying engine. Other companies will also adopt this ''model'' to ''stay profitable'' so everyone will apply [Runtime fee + tax fee + steam fee + subscription fee ..etc] , why ? because unity did it. Basically independent developers will become slaves under these types of companies BECAUSE OF THIS RUNTIME FEE Once GoDot create their asset store, they will surpass unity so why not be founders of that community ? Like how Bracky was for unity.

@HickoryDickory86 9 месяцев назад

@lDeath489 Agreed. As far as I'm concerned, the runtime fee is a non-starter, period. To add to that, "sunk cost" is a fallacy if staying the course is guaranteed insecurity, uncertainty, and instability for your company and livelihood. Far better to go ahead, eat the cost now, and make the switch to free and open source engines, libraries, frameworks, etc. That you do not have to report to anyone or pay anyone subscriptions, revenue shares, and/or retroactive install fees brings peace of mind and greater profitability in the long-term (which far too many people neglect to consider nowadays). And free and open source engines can be slower in development and features only because they lack the funding and personnel as these corporate proprietary engines have. But the more talented people who drop the proprietary engines in favor of the open source ones, and begin contributing their talents to them, means they get more attention and their development gets progressively speedier (everyone can make pull requests and contribute to the engine's advancement, provided the proposed contribution is good and is accepted and merged). Furthermore, there's nothing stoping profitable developers from contributing some of their monetary success to their open source engine's developers as a donation. They could treat it like a "subscription fee" and/or a revenue share, though they're not obligated to do so and can stop at any time if money gets tight. But this way, the engine's developers have some financial stability and incentive themselves to work and do good work for their community. And if they regularly get enough, they may even be able to staff some full-time developers who keep making progress on the engine, in addition to merging outside contributions. Win-win for everyone.

@GUSRG 9 месяцев назад

I watched the previous video and many other RU-vidrs about leaving Unity, that even the fees not affecting me, I was scared that the amount of new tutorials and work of the community would be insanely reduced. In the past week, I spent ALMOST every free hour I had studing Unreal, and trying to recreate almost everything I know on UE. And to be honest, I liked a lot. It's not a simple Engine, but all the knowledge I worked so hard to adquire on Unity (and even Blender with the 3D part of game assets) paid off a lot on Unreal. Now, I have plans to stick with UE for my main games, and use Unity for smaller apps and projects (and VRChat, love to make content when I got the time for it). Knowing multiple engines is not a bad thing, and I recommend everyone try for a bit on their free time, to give a try.

Thanks again for demonstrating your integrity and going above and beyond for the benefit of the Unity community. I just know that as an attorney, I'm going to be looking through every line of their next ToS before I agree to it. I'll be looking specifically for language the prevents them from unilaterally adding new terms or changing terms without prior notice and consent, and language that binds the ToS to the Unity version you are using. The best part about today is I feel like I can now open the Unity engine without reflexively recoiling. Let's hope this is the start of a new chapter in Unity, and I look forward to your future content.

It sucks that we wouldn't want to represent the engine we used sure, but during the healing process I find it'll be necessary. I also looked into Gadot during the week. Seeing what open source has gotten to is very impressive. Maybe you and others will treat us with the occasional Gadot tutorial, and we can all help open source developing get to a level where companies are always kept in check! Stay strong fellow devs

@nuc2726 9 месяцев назад

I am going to be making a game in my spare time I was so divided... Unity looked so enticing... A powerful engine and a great value. Unreal Engine looked so exciting... Impressive, easy graphics, especially with their partnership with Quixel Megascans Library that gives you game-ready assets for whatever you're making. I realized I had to put all of my eggs into one basket and learn only one... Unity is still a better value because it's still a powerful engine that's half the price of Unreal Engine 5, but this recent debacle proved that UE5 is the way to go. It feels like Unity purposefully overstepped their boundaries so that "when they roll it back" it will look reasonable, instead of just rolling out that as the original plan in the first place. I don't like being manipulated or tricked, so since they didn't completely reverse their decision, I'm not going to bother with them. They can keep their run time, I'm not making my game with them.

I'm at it solo and still after several years fairly new to this. Everyone has made very valid points in the comments and really, I feel so betrayed it's beyond repair. Even after the changes. All I've done for the past several hours is watch videos like yours because I personally don't know anyone who makes games or uses unity. The reason I chose unity in the first place was the awesome community support. And if they even first ignore the advice and opinions of the community and employees who made them great in favor of shareholders. That's it - that is their true face.

pretty much the same I'm learning Godot atm and if Unity will try their best in actually working on the engine in the coming months, I might reassess quitting it. Otherwise tons of bugs and half-baked features in perpetual experimental hell are not very attractive anymore. P.S. Just a friendly reminder, shader graph was "released" in 2021.1 (march 2021), URP version still doesnt have scene light node built in. And HDRP has for some reason. Why and how?

I'm willing to come back as soon as they show the new eula and it is clear and concise on this stuff.

My damn Fidelity account prevented me from shorting them on the 15th when the stock was >$36 a share. Now it's hovering around $31-32 and most price estimates say itll stop dropping at $28. I'm not sure though, the loss of Good Will from their only customer feels like there is no bottom.

8:37 Nah I love it when I need to build my game twice because a unity error stops the first build. Or if I get an Internal build system error and I can't do anything about it. Or if Unity resets the position of all UI elements. But of course the cursed unity messages that randomly show up and tell you to kill yourself are the best.

Good to hear someone comment on how crazy it is to give 30% to a store to list your game for download. Still seems so crazy

I like the idea of rallying against Apple and steam next. I would say though, while watching Jason's interview with Marc, it seemed more like a politician responding to a single incident, when we all know it's not an incident, it's just part of their business model

So, my AR Project is still alive! However, imho, it seems to me like they drop a fake bomb to see the reactions and then they came out with the true change of terms. i don't know, i don't like to think like conspiracy, but the first move was so strange (like the one make it by Wizard of the coast with the new laws about the D&D) and disrespectful. Well, sorry for my english. now i can return to shout against the geospatial creator lib :D

I have to say, your voice sounds so good

@Notllamalord 9 месяцев назад

The new terms are crazy reasonable and the new TOS changes mean that you can’t be bamboozled anymore. This is really good

3:35 not in the ancomnet but in the Q&A they said they'll use the runtime every Unity game has since forever plus some sort of AI to sort of pirated copies... So yeah they kinda said they already have spywear in unity games they just needed to act on it... Which where unity game phones home right now or not I don't know but they seemed to have it all figured out in the moment.

@hansfritz6026 9 месяцев назад

Good point about the 30% cut of steam, Google, Apple also the ridiculous annual fee of apple

@Myustakrakish 9 месяцев назад

Don't. Don't do this. Just clean break! I wish I could but i can't. You can! Don't let them lure you back in. Don't let them take any more of your time, energy, or attention.

@DrewofDonuts 9 месяцев назад

Selfishly, I’m happy that you are going to continue working with Unity. That said - it shows character and good judgment to re-engage with Unity after they responded and made appropriate changes.

@samyam 9 месяцев назад

Haha thanks! But I’m keeping my wits about me to see how they continue to act long term :)

@regys9521 9 месяцев назад

Everyone is complaining about what they did to the most united community in the game devs but i think it was the most amazing thing that could ever to all of us because we made them change it back that we have the power and it can get better and better...

@ziad_jkhan 9 месяцев назад

The power will only be in our hands when the source code is made available. Until then, it's all nothing but a shitshow.

@KurtSchwind 9 месяцев назад

In the new TOS, I didn't see any promises that they can't just make changes to it at will. Possibly "retroactively". Without that assurance, it's hard to build a business plan using Unity.

@SniperSam 9 месяцев назад

I don't think it was a careless decision on Unity's, or Ricottillo's part, I think he was thinking no one would catch on and hope it would fly right under everyone's noses.
