No. I really don't see the concern. Unity's business model does not involve targeting users with ads by installing malware on their system. However, many games studios do choose to integrate ads into their game loop and as a game platform I can see exactly why Unit wants this type of talent in-house so they can make their platform more attractive for game devs that might be looking for this type of feature in a platform.
- hypertele-Xii 4y agoUnity just merged with a company whose business model is exactly that. Concern seems warranted.
- WillPostForFood 4y agoTheir business model is mobile ads. The installer business was a decade ago, and prior to another merger with another ad network. The concern here is hyperbolic. This is about ads, not malware. There is no rational reason Unity would want to get close to malware.
- lmm 4y agoAds are malware. The reason ad networks use the same techniques as other forms of malware is that they're both trying to make the computer behave in ways that its owner doesn't want.
- tomnipotent 4y agoA non-trivial percentage of their revenue, however, is from Unity Ads.
