@DaveARodriguez Sorry to hear that. Get well soon!

I regret to inform my timeline that, due to some extenuating medical reasons, I will not be able to attend #BlizzCon2023 this year. I am a bit heartbroken at the circumstance but I hope I get a chance to meet you all soon! 🥺

@unity But that is where the real problem lies. Even if this entire mess is backtracked, where does that leave us all really? With a corrupt company who has shown their true face and a level of deceit and disrespect for its users that exploded all trust. How do you fix that?

@unity I’ve used Unity since early Mac-only betas. I’ve started a small business and created a professional visual scripting tool for it on the asset store. I’ve created an indie studio and commercial game with it. I’d love to see it bounce back under GOOD LEADERSHIP we could TRUST.

We have heard you. We apologize for the confusion and angst the runtime fee policy we announced on Tuesday caused. We are listening, talking to our team members, community, customers, and partners, and will be making changes to the policy. We will share an update in a couple of days. Thank you for your honest and critical feedback.

@UnrealEngine any chance you can implement C# for the Unity developer exodus? It’s a pretty sweet language…

@unity “more than 90% of our customers will not be affected by this change” - WRONG. You broke the trust of 100% of your customer base. Even if you walk this back now we can never trust Unity again with current leadership. I hope the board understands this.

We want to acknowledge the confusion and frustration we heard after we announced our new runtime fee policy. We’d like to clarify some of your top questions and concerns: Who is impacted by this price increase: The price increase is very targeted. In fact, more than 90% of our customers will not be affected by this change. Customers who will be impacted are generally those who have found a substantial scale in downloads and revenue and have reached both our install and revenue thresholds. This means a low (or no) fee for creators who have not found scale success yet and a modest one-time fee for those who have. Fee on new installs only: Once you meet the two install and revenue thresholds, you only pay the runtime fee on new installs after Jan 1, 2024. It’s not perpetual: You only pay once for an install, not an ongoing perpetual license royalty like a revenue share model. How we define and count installs: Assuming the install and revenue thresholds are met, we will only count net new installs on any device starting Jan 1, 2024. Additionally, developers are not responsible for paying a runtime fee on: - Re-install charges - we are not going to charge a fee for re-installs. - Fraudulent installs charges - we are not going to charge a fee for fraudulent installs. We will work directly with you on cases where fraud or botnets are suspected of malicious intent. - Trials, partial play demos, and automation installs (devops) charges - we are not going to count these toward your install count. Early access games are not considered demos. - Web and streaming games - we are not going to count web and streaming games toward your install count either. - Charity-related installs - the pricing change and install count will not be applied to your charity bundles/initiatives. For additional questions, we have updated our blog and FAQ resources. ⬇️ Blog: on.unity.com/3ZiIwlB FAQ: on.unity.com/44NMZ0R Forums: on.unity.com/45RgrnV

@georgebsocial This right here! 💯

The Unity board needs to call for resignations. Start with John Riccitiello and most of the exec team responsible for the design and communication of this atrocious idea. They are destroying Unity. Act swiftly. Only with heads on a spike will some semblance of trust be restored. #gamedev #unity3d #unity #madewithunity #indiedev #IndieGameDev

@AlanLawrance @unity For me it’s that the trust in the company is destroyed forever. They are an organization that is willing to retroactively change the very foundation of why most of us went with that engine in the first place - pay for the tool and keep what you make with it.

@unity Unity needs to scrap this entire half-baked install fee idea and start over. Most developers will be OK with some kind of reasonable revenue sharing plan. Epic got this right, it's not like it can't be done.

@ben_throop Very cool! This would make such a chill/relaxing game to herd sheep. I’d play it! Careful though, I hear soon you’ll have to pay Unity per sheep used 😉

I wanted to make something beautiful so I've been working on a simulation of herding sheep 🐑. Lots of sheep. First tweet about this! Give a follow if you'd like to see progress (and bugs) #screenshotsaturday #unity3d #gamedev #madewithunity

@creepyDeadBoy This will not age well. There will be more indictments. 😉

@cliffski Volunteer. Also, make some wild games that are not constrained by a need for commercial success.

Badass! Love seeing cosplay from the first franchise I ever worked on- it’s a rare sight these days!🤘🏼

@OCDeidre Cosplay is never done! 🤘🏼😂

@vikingdad278 😂

They’re not going to let me in the studio anymore… tiktok.com/t/ZTRfdm6PQ/

@SymbaLily 💯Both are amazing games!

I think both Bloodborne and Hollow Knight have become my favourite games now, thank you YouTube

@xemu It’s like good game onboarding design in reverse. Provide so much friction that people give up and stay subscribed. Evil.

@SariaSlays_ 🤣💯

@vikingdad278 Loving it! Hopefully they will make an open world Bloodborne next 😂🤞🏼

@scottblinn Hey, me too! Haha

It’s insane to think that #Bloodborne came out 7 years ago today! Cheers to one of my all time favorite games! 🍻
