Review bombing, meet revenue bombing.

Unity has changed its pricing model, and game developers are pissed off::Unity has announced that starting on January 1st, 2024, it will implement a new pricing model that will charge developers based on how many times a game was installed.

    Honestly the most credible theory I can come up with for why Unity is doing this is that it’s an attempt to force MS to acquire them to stop the effect this BS will have on gamepass and C#

      Microsoft isn’t in a position to acquire any other significant gaming companies in the near term, imo.

        Yeah, Microsoft isn’t going to blow up its shaky, but actual money maker Activision deal for a loser like Unity.

      That’s actually an interesting theory, I don’t believe it, but would be cool. Feel like Microsoft would have enough backing too off against Epic.

      Though, they are funding o3de right now.
