One gripe I have with this video is that he said the situation at the unity office - namely the supposed death threat by an employee against their employer - was “understandable”. It absolutely isn’t understandable. No matter how shitty your tech CEO is, unless they happily throw puppies into a wood chipper in the office, death threats are definitely not understandable.

What if they only indifferently throw puppies into a wood chipper?
hansl@lemmy.world 1 year ago
They still shouldn’t do it in the Office. They should do it at home, like all others puppies-in-wood-chippers people I know. Boundaries, Karen!
Bipta@kbin.social 1 year ago
I assumed the threat was from a developer whose life's work is ruined by these terms. I wonder what the employee's motive was.
OrgunDonor@kbin.social 1 year ago
I presume a day off work.

Boss needed a bomb threat called in
ekZepp@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Agreed

Active evil vs passive evil.
What’s the difference between puppy-chippers and starving out families with policy changes?
kicksystem@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I wonder now whether that means that you feel that egg industry CEOs deserve death threats…

If the studios don't switch to Godot and contribute back, they'll be setting themselves up for another Unity a few years down the line.
bighi@lemmy.world 1 year ago
If we don’t get together and destroy capitalism itself, we WILL get another Unity every few years.
elouboub@kbin.social 1 year ago
The easier path is opensource. You can use it today, no need to wish the fall capitalism and do nothing until then

I’m also interested in checking out Stride tomorrow. Hopefully I can find a good alternative to Mirror for multiplayer networking and the FinalIk package I had in Unity.
elouboub@kbin.social 1 year ago
I'm curious why they chose C#. Maybe to be a Unity alternative without requiring to invest in a new language?
gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Holy shit, I had no idea about that whole quid-pro-quo bullshit. That’s crazy. Also, that’s definitely super illegal.

Anyone know off the top of their head what the price difference is between Unity and Unreal now? And are there Unity engine alternatives that people can seek?
echo64@lemmy.world 1 year ago
there is no “price difference” they use a completely different pricing model, unity is SaaS, and moving to pay per install. Unreal is free, if you make more than a million dollars then you have to pay 5% royalties to epic.
there is no equating the two
JasSmith@kbin.social 1 year ago
They’re just different pricing models, not different verticals. Unity is still cheaper, but incurs significant risk now. Whereas Epic will take their 5% after $1M, Unity has no revenue split. However now that they’re charging per install, devs need to be sure their marginal profit clears this bar. No one is sure their pricing model works before launch, so I think this risk is unreasonable.
rigatti@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Wouldn’t the new Unity pricing model be somewhat comparable to the current Unreal pricing model?

Pretty sure godot is pretty up there from what I hear but that’s the extent of my knowledge.
Maven@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Godot is great at 2D and would be a great replacement for those games but lacks a lot of 3D stuff Unity users would miss. If someone is doing a 2D game tho… Godot is a fantastic option to go with.
Weslee@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Is Godot a full engine? I thought it was a UGC platform (like Roblox)

Am I the only one that wishes these video posts had some text explaination for those of us at work and unable to watch videos in the middle of the office?
ekZepp@lemmy.world 1 year ago
👌

If it does what it sounds like, it really should be integrated directly into Lemmy or Lemmy clients.

That's one for the bookmarks. What an incredible site.

I’ve had that thought about 6 separate times this morning sitting at a hospital. I miss RIF showing me the link before I go to it.

If anyone needed conclusive proof that the word "hipster" is now functionally meaningless, here it is.

I don’t own any airpods. Is Apple discipleship so strong that we all just assume everyone has the newest tat?
Quick, check your iPhone…
TheMauveAvenger@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Some of us here didn’t grow up in the YouTube generation, where what could be a one minute read has to be turned into a ten minute ad-riddled video with over the top voice acting, “artistic” shots, and useless transitions.
Doug@midwest.social 1 year ago
Have you considered that plenty of people probably find your advice stupid and condescending regardless of saying the word “airpod”?
Or that the word airpod was also unnecessary since you already said headphones?
Apple defaultism is pretty dumb on its own, but it’s hardly the biggest problem with your comment.
