Blender will not get their 120.000 buck next year, shareholders gonna have a party with that money lol
😀 I guess you are right. Very likely.
It is always good for the user if the majority of the shareholders decide about your new features. Nothing bad has ever come from this 🙂
As a Unity user myself, I’m not too excited about this news. We’ll see how it will turn out, but this is a bad omen…
Sadly they can’t compete with Epic, Epic currently has the best business model of any software in history of software.
Unity should’ve acted sooner, simple things such as making the dark theme the default theme instead of the pro, they just acted on it a week ago after it was too late so to speak. I mean come on.
This is a desperate last card move, it’s not going to be pretty.
Same view here. I also think that the render pipeline split was the dumbest move they ever made. Extra chaos invited.
very true.
i liked unity alot but the making the dark ui one of the benefits of paying was beyond stupid. there were even third party solutions they shut down and they´ve been waffling about this for years now.
it just came across so stupid.
tbh epic is kind of subsidised by fortnite. im sure the engine licensing brings in dough to but fortnite is a cashcow.
there is no catching up to epic now.
this is them squeezing out some money before throwing in the towel, sadly.
Unreal is still not optimised for mobile/casual 2D games, unlike Unity. Unreal wins for anything 3D and console-like, but Unity still has the edge for mobile 2d games. I see them as serving different markets really.
I agree there. Unity is objectively speaking also faster and easier to develop with. Besides really strong 2D tools, it’s traditionally been faster to iterate on. Change some code, play, test, iterate. Rebuild time is seconds. It’s been a little while since I was actively using Unity myself, but I do see several indie developers still say they moved from Unreal to Unity just because of this. It’s not always about the best visual quality, but being able to work fast.
That being said, Unreal is no doubt leading the way on the technical side!
Unity is a great environment to work with, and incredibly fast to prototype. It’s so elegant and slick. The problem is their business model is flawed, once you realize you pay for making Unity splash screen to go away, and in the past, the dark skin.
Cup de grace from the “expert” ex-electronic arts CEO to Unity and it’s customer relationship…
What can go wrong?
Wohoo, lootboxes and microtransactions for everyone 😀
Sad move. I wouldn’t be surprised if Autodesk will buy Unity eventually…
Stingray scandal again?
any juicy details beyond them just unceremoniously scrapping the whole thing?
always love to get dirt on adsk…
No one is talking about the sex scandals of the CEO??

He was basically accused of using the HR department as his personal harem
No, because no one cares. The U.S is basically just an open-air mental asylum, populated with neo-barbarians and narcissistic hysterics. It’s no surprise that it is both the most puritanical “developped” ( economically speaking ) country AND the biggest exporter of pron at the same time.
The rest of the planet should actually fund Trump so that he builds a wall around America so that its insanity stops spreading thru the rest of the world.
We are not interested in your “sex” scandals, and this thread is about Unity doing an IPO, not about the puerile and neurotic attitude of ‘mericans towards sex.
I agree, The United states has become the epicenter of insanity, even third world countries are laughing at them, they all say that they have no more real problems now they are inventing their own new ones and its pathetic and self destructive. Sexism, racism, and every other “ism”. Boils your blood really.
Here’s hoping Trump wins again to slap them some more.
And what the F*ck is up with these sexual harassment accusations? Are these CEOs dragging women by their hair into their offices and raping them? If not then I believe strong women are confident enough to slap any man into his senses should she feel she is being harassed at work and if that doesn’t work she should simply quit and find another job just like many men do when they feel work sucks for whatever reason.
Lets not exclude that so many women actually ride the wave and manipulate CEOs to be harassed in the hopes of getting that higher position, but if that doesn’t happen they can always use Sexual harassment claim against them. A dirty game is played by both sides many times over.
and here i thought you had some sense in you.
i am not from the usa but its more than clear to me that the divide in that country is very much based on real issues.
the humongous income inequality, the slaying of black people by the police which has become a regular occurrence, the crumbling of democratic and state institutions, militarization of police and their simultaneous lack of training,
the failing educational system, the gun violence, the rampant corruption in the politics via unchecked lobbying, people being in debt due to medical bills, opiate epidemic, the insurmountable political rift between people, full blown riots, communities actually dying from their fucking tap water, this list can truly go on and on…
i just saw today a video of a guy get shot in the back seven times by the police point blank, infront of his 3 kids. what the fuck kind of “ism” is that then?
i agree it is all insanity but this is not about isms or some made up shit- maybe it was pre-2000 but its way, way beyond that point. from where i am standing, this looks like an erosion of society happening in realtime. and the roots of it all are far from superficial or new.
there are SO many examples of PC culture gone way to far. there are instances, maybe even daily, where people have been unjustly accused of abuse or harassment or bigotry and racism. the gender thing is getting ridiculous, as is outrage culture and retroactively censoring art.
but your take – man, that is some grade A trash.
in this job climate (record unemployment, no end in sight), to say a person being sexually harassed at work to either slap the guy or quit is the most idiotic and insensitive thing i have heard in a long time and that is saying something. the line: “manipulate CEO into harassing them” is also such a fucking trash thing to say i wont even begin to unpack it.
i dont know who you think trump should slap some more and for what reason but you sir are a vile person that very apparently lacks any empathy to view the world through.
get yourself checked out or something. you might be on some spectrum or other.
Nope sorry, I know first hand how women can play that game just the same, in fact there was documentary the other day about Weinstein on netflix were one of the girls being interviewed who was “harassed” by him ended up being hired by the same guy willingly and made lots of cash on the side introducing him to her girlfriends. Now she is crying on TV how she was abused! Bull.
And yes Lots of girls and women I know in very good positions all over the world stand up for themselves and to anyone who pushes them around, just like boys and men they have to learn that the playing field is full of dogs and wolves. No exceptions for anyone and if they don’t like it at all, its a free world they can leave or stay and fight, as far as i can tell from most companies i heard this shit is supposedly happening in ended in the favor of the women “claiming” harassment with no evidence and utterly bad and devastating for the company and individuals. I say 9 out of 10 cases this shit is abused.
The humongous income inequality: I don’t understand what you mean by this? If you mean that rich is getting richer and poor poorer well that may be true, but this requires certain control over large companies and monopolies, it is the least talked about subject matter from everything else going on. It also has to do with everything being packed in one place, for example San Francisco sorry to say has become a shit hole, and extremely expensive and unlivable. The stuff needs to expand and get rid of concentrated areas. And most of these areas are 100% controlled by the left!
Yes most of the problems you mentioned does exist, I acknowledge that, but the root of the problem didn’t stem from the likes of Trump but rather from the same people who they voted for over and over again feeding them candy while the institutions rot from within, This includes universities BTW, If I were in charge I will start arresting these so called professors who are teaching kids nonsense while charging them 100’s of thousands. Yes there is brutal violence but there are reasons for that, there are reasons for majority black violence and why the blacks are also irresponsible themselves leaving single moms with no dads around in vast statistical numbers, this alone writes doom for any community or society in the long run, they choose the easy way out no responsibilities for their actions large amount of taxes and debt! doing drugs in neighborhoods while their kids grow up in similar scenarios. They need to get their community and shit together, it all starts from the family unit breaking apart. Meanwhile the same politicians and many others want to keep the status quo, they love it when minorities and others are always at their mercy, its good for elections and business. In america people have a choice they are very lucky that if they choose so they can actually change and make a difference. Other parts of the world you will get killed along with the politician you voted for.
I have yet to see one unified protest against the messed up healthcare in the states, instead all the energy is put in looting and gender protests and against Trump!
Sorry from what I see the left has gone insane and is now too far left and self destructive, that also started from the corrupt university systems from way back in the 60’s. Also Hollywood has gone too left itself and is eating itself slowly, cinema is dying.
For the record before Covid the economy was going strong and soonest they get rid of china and control the outsourcing and monopolistic companies the likes of Apple and google in the states the better America will be, at this stage I can see no one but Trump attempting this one thing, its a sad state of affairs in the US.
Classic American irony… all this insane bullshit under an article for “Unity”.
i am actually petty enough to go into this on a cg forum but this is too much for point by point. there is just so much wrong in your ramblings.
you were talking about the usa in third person but i guess you are from the states.
fun fact: didya know gestapo used to arrest people from universities?
trumps flagship product is “us vs them” and tragically, peddling division and hatred is the only venture he had any legit success with. and he struck gold with that shit. i have never said this schism stems from trump the he sure as fuck weaponized it and made it his platform.
and you have apparently have had a bellyfull of that “left vs right” propaganda which is designed to turn you against your fellow man and see him as the “other” and an enemy. its a trick as old as time, divide and conquer.
In actuality, there really is no radical left (how many rioters do you think read marx and engels?), its mostly just people trying to have a less shitty lives, the world over. but the american perception of the “left” is so skewed that at a mere mention of socialised health system, people invoke gulags and stalins greatest hits. i have seen this convo play out on social media hundreds and hundreds of times.
this american “radical left” is mostly just a construct that serves as a narrative when defending taxation of corporations, simple as that: corporations have copious ways of ducking taxes, then receive government bailouts that come from taxation, ergo actual people like you are subsidizing this “capitalism”. it is such a straightforward transfer of wealth, there is absolutely no way to argue differently. did i mention they get bailouts and still lay people off but keep the bonuses?
the under-taxed corporations and the ultra rich is actual the reason why the state institutions are underfunded and crumbling. why teachers are underpaid but have to buy their own fucking supplies.
and you keep banging about the left like a good boy.
now this social media toxicity has begun spilling into the streets for real and you have a young militia boy shooting 3 people in a different state with an assault gun. this is what the hate filled rhetoric brings you and its about to get uglier.
how bout you try and love thy neighbour? wild proposition i know. some hippie said it once but pretty sure you would see him as a “radical leftist” so..
This.
I have no problem with people and i’m all up for conversation and understanding, I am far from politics in the most part. We are entertainers and developers and even engineers and scientists.
I agree this is not the place for such discussions. But I am not delusional about what is going on in the states, I think there is a dangerous agenda, lets not go too far just look at our industry, look at the comic book industry whatever is left of it, the movie industry, or shows on Netflix, just look at what is happening, that is not a coincidence that things are “diverse” or let the cancel culture cancel industries away starting from board games to comic books to video games to films.
Nope this is far bigger than Left or right. This is downright dangerous and messed up. I don’t think it will last but it has caused far too much damage already.
But this is a discussion for another place another time.
Wow I should write them to decrease my subscription by the percentage of costs this harem had in total company costs.
Isn’t John Riccitiello known for doing this?.. Pandemic was bought by EA when he was there, and I think he bet against the stock.. or for.. I can’t remember.. Then they shut down Pandemic and he made millions.
