They just miss the days they were too young to realize what it all meant.

An amateurish mistake. I bet their programmers don't even have thigh high socks.

And the players are the ones making them for themselves so they can just make the bad and false ones be insignificant if it bothers them so much.

If this brings back all that was naturally shed, there's gonna be a whole lot of skin and hair.

Enshittification advances. Consoles already are the prime example of devices that act as if they are still owned by the company rather than the customer, but they somehow find even more ways to make it worse...

That doesn't add up, in this case. If they simply announced a revenue share, something that Unreal Engine already has, it wouldn't have been anywhere as controversial. Some devs would grumble but it wouldn't have been taken as an existential threat worth jumping ship as soon as possible.

The whole charge per download was likely an attempt to get more money out of freemium mobile games, but nobody was willing to accept that.

Really, the damage to their image so significant, it's likely many dev studios will drop it even under those conditions, just out of lost trust.

Charging "per install" as opposed to "per sale" will be goddamn awful. At best it might lead to DRM where you'll have a limited number of installs before you lose the game you bought.

Between that and the online DRM of Integrity API, it's time everyone moves to Firefox.

Seems like any career that is commonly seen as a passion comes with an additional level of exploitation. Game developers and animators get a raw deal.

It absolutely needs backwards compatibility. Throwing away the whole Nintendo Switch library would be a waste, and there are some games that would even benefit from improved performance.

Because at best Instagram is very fussy about keeping a brand-safe platform and an algorithm-driven feed that is not the sort of thing who favors smaller creators. Threads is an off-shoot of Instagram, likely it will be treated the same way.

When Twitter was at its best, people liked it for how it allowed them to keep up with current events, and to spread interesting content through viral sharing, as users with similar interests spread it among each other. I don't think Facebook will allow it to be user-driven enough for it to have this sort of organic virality.
