Hiya there! I'm Slink, She/He/TheyI'm a multifandom and oc art account!---My main interests are Paradise Killer, Pikmin, Lobcorp, Rain World, and Sky: CoTL, currently!
Hiya all, deeply sorry for my absence, I’ve been focusing on OC stuff and commissions over fandom work, especially because I’ve been getting into a ttrpg, and sometimes I forget I can post about my ocs lol, hoping to get back into the saddle and post more, even if it’s sketches; I had been in a bit of a drought too, but my new art tablet has a screen now and it’s been really helping me overcome some blocks I had!
Basically, how I understand it, is that Unity is introducing a new pricing plan/model that takes effect January 1st, 2024, that based on certain thresholds of how many download’s and revenue a game has made in the last year, game developers will have to pay a certain flat rate PER INSTALL, which didn’t exist before. Many people reinstall games or the like after buying it once, so every reinstall counts as a new install, and charges the game company.
So many developers feel rather blindsided, because they feel this could fuck them over financially, they’ve got threeish months to decide what they want to do and many are talking about delays to jump ships. Those currently working on a project are likely to swap over to avoid this. While charity games won’t be affected and they’re trying to clarify things to make it sound better because the initial drop sounded even fucking worse, it feels really rough still.
Q: If a user reinstalls/redownloads a game / changes their hardware, will that count as multiple installs?
A: Yes. The creator will need to pay for all future installs. The reason is that Unity doesn’t receive end-player information, just aggregate data.
God damn!!)
Some sites for info—
While not the main point, there’s also concerns about the CEO selling stocks right before the news:
Many devs have expressed their distaste for this, the devs of Cult of the Lamb, has stated they will delete the game come january 1st. VideoCult has put the game Rain World on a 50% sale and mentions de-listing it. Innersloth, the minds behind The Henry Stickmin Collection and Among Us has stated this would cause delays, and many developers will feel similarly. Even if they backpedal completely on this decision, so many are probably not gonna use it now, shooting themselves in the foot big time.
we may of lost but after not playing much splatoon/burn out getting 3 100x victories outta 4 or 5 chances FEELS FUCKING GREAT, had no 333x tho, oh well! The float pictures and such are so cute :]
