Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! Unless you have anything to do with Unity, because there are no winners in this shitshow.

Oh, Unity will lose too.

Somehow, I keep remembering Reddit.

Reddit didn't retroactively try to steal money from developers. Also a game engine doesn't need a community to exist, it just needs to be good, a community is helpful but not required.

I mean, reddit retroactively stole money from redditors. Any gold/coins you paid for? Gone. Why? Because.

It needs devs to be usefull

[–] Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi 5 points 2 years ago

If it's good, it will generally develop a community around it anyway.

This is reddit api Desaster but worse.

Unity will lose way, way more than Reddit.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Almost certainly so. Unity is threatening to bankrupt their customers, while Reddit only did it to some value-adding third parties.

Reddit famously doing red numbers since the API change.

Oh really? Do you happen to have a link I'm curious.
