Yeah seen that Apple is doing that for Epic's Fortnight. Won't be able to sign for Mac, but people could still install it if they turn off gatekeeper which I doubt many people would mess with, been a while since I've done that myself since I use dev tools. I think now on Catalina and newer Mac versions even more steps. Used to be a checkbox, but I think you have to use the terminal now?
Never really worked with Unreal but wonder if this will affect other games using their engine, not sure if there's like signed dylibs and stuff.
All this security stuff is cool but in a way more control. It's like you paid all this money for something but in a way you don't really own it. Like some graphic card company sells graphic cards including server graphic cards, but their driver's EULA doesn't allow you to use your desktop cards for server use. I guess the hardware being used 24/7 wasn't designed for that, but sounds like they should deny your warranty then instead of turning it into a copyright issue. Some game streaming company ran into this problem.
- 1f60c 6y agoIf you Option-click an app, it gives you the option to run the app even if it's not signed. No disabling of Gatekeeper required.
- Keverw 6y agoOh yeah right click open too. I’ve done that before but thought maybe I’ve disabled Gatekeeper in the past on my machine.
- smileybarry 6y agoDiscoverability for that is hell, though. If you don't already know about it from a friend, finding out your app isn't a virtual paperweight requires going down a knowledgebase rabbit hole: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24217116 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24217116
- FriendlyNormie 6y agoIt’s astonishing how many of you isolated fucking nerds on this site don’t know how to spell Fortnite because you never interact with normal people. It’s a good reminder that no one should listen to your worthless opinions.
