> With ironSource, Unity will take the linear process of making games and RT3D content and experiences and make it an interconnected and interactive one - creating the opportunity to innovate and improve at every step of the cycle.
> What if that process was no longer "first create; then monetize?” What if creators had an engine for live games that by default enabled them to gain early indicators of success for their games through user acquisition of their prototype, and gave them a feedback loop to improve their games based on real player interactions as early in the process as possible?
Sounds like utter nonsense to me. Does anyone have an optimistic take on what this is trying to say in a good direction? I'm reading it as shipping more unfinished games, possibly with more ads
- thsbrown 4y agoCouldn't be any more vague if they tried.
- the_lonely_road 4y agoSounds like Steam early access with metics and feedback. Maybe it’s referencing social media campaign to measure interest during the early prototype stage like star citizen has been doing.

- bdefore 4y agoRight? It disparages not putting profits first in the act of creation, but doesn't explain how its offering solves this problem. Instead it describes how to improve feedback loops. It leaves as an exercise to the reader how user acquisition leads to money. Filthy.
- kaetemi 4y agoAh, like open source games where development drags on forever, and the player base is thinly spread out over time.
- echelon 4y agoWatch Twitch. See VRChat and VTubers. Minecraft and Roblox. Games are going to turn into sandboxes and movies and full creativity engines. Epic and Unity realize this and are ahead of the trend. Microsoft and Meta get it too, it's just not been realized yet.
- arminiusreturns 4y agoThey want to turn their proprietary metaverse into a licensing cash cow using creator labor, thats the play. Each engine is doing their own version of the metaverse.
