Right, same goes for google. Remember folks, free software and free products means you are the product. And in the process other companies and tools are being put of business while the masses cheers for yet another free tool, forgetting these are made by monopolies that use them as marketing.
- soylentgraham 7y agoYou're confusing google (an advertising company) for unity (a product store). They're not trying to acquire users for marketing, they're trying to acquire users into their ecosystem and bring more dependence on their tools, their asset store products, and make the unity ecosystem worth more. It's a land grab. Ditto for VFX industry that they and Epic are trying to get into.
