The idea that Unity (market cap $22 billion) should put in the work to stay compatible while Apple (market cap $2.64 trillion) should not is deplorable.

- maccard 5y agoI'm certainly not making the claim you accuse me of, however Apple's compatibility is substantially better than Unity's. Apple's reasoning for breaking backwards compatibility is often sound; reducing the attack surface of misused APIs. The alternative is what you have on Android right now, a bunch of applications that still ask for the sun and moon and stars for permissions because they can. Unity's path is more of a scorched earth policy in my experience.
- howinteresting 5y agoI don't see why API misuse is an issue for an indie game with no online component.
