I see major development studios are fine with this change. No Blizzard, Bethesda, Rockstar, CD Project Red, Epic Games, Ubisoft...
Unless they weight in on this, Unity won't budge. Honestly, it almost seems like someone is destroying the IT industry on purpose.
- rawcal 3y agoAll those major studios listed have their own game engines, so unitys decisions don't affect them anyways. And Epic develops Unreal Engine, so Unitys' loss is their win.
- wheelerof4te 3y agoBethesda has a game engine? I thought their games were run by a 1000 year old abacus.
- GaggiX 3y agoStarfield engine is pretty good: https://youtu.be/neO-Bl7g9-U https://youtu.be/neO-Bl7g9-U
- nomel 3y agoI would claim that’s the physics engine, more than the “game engine”. Physx did this sort of thing 15 years ago.
- johnnyanmac 3y agowell, no one else is known for their "physics engine", so clearly Bethesda did something right, or cheaper than everyone else (doubtful).
- nomel 3y agoIf it were actually part of the gameplay, rather than the result of console commands, then I think this would hold more weight.
- wheelerof4te 3y agoI've checked some gameplay footage and it's atrocious. Bethesda is making the same game in a different package ever since Oblivion.
- fennecfoxy 3y agoWhich is Nintendo's whole business, to be fair.
- throwaway689236 3y agoHeartstone is Unity, Witcher card game by CDPR may be as well.
- alpaca128 3y agoSupport for Gwent will end this year and Hearthstone is soon 10 years old and not that relevant for Blizzard. Their much more important game Diablo Immortal uses a different engine. The big publishers only used that engine for a few offshoots and this change will guarantee that won't happen again.
- NotGMan 3y ago"Don't intefere with the enemy when he is in the process of destroying himself". Those big companies also have mostly their own engines, so the majority of their products are totaly unaffected by this.
- thanhhaimai 3y agoDoes CD Project Red use Unity? A quick search shows that they have an in house engine, and switching to Unreal.
- karim79 3y agoThey licensed Aurora engine from Bioware way back in the day of Witcher 1, then developed their own (Red Engine). I guess Red Engine has lots of Bioware DNA going on.
- Ekaros 3y agoSome of their games do like stand alone Gwent. Big titles do not.
- jibe 3y agoSimilarly, Blizzard used Unity for their card game, Hearthstone.
- Michelangelo11 3y ago> Honestly, it almost seems like someone is destroying the IT industry on purpose. They're not, it's just that (unfortunately for all of us here) it's shrinking to more normal dimensions now that it's no longer being watered by a ceaseless flow of money.
- wheelerof4te 3y agoThose dimensions are becoming ever smaller with the advancement of A.I. Now that companies have their golden goose, they no longer need plain humans. After all, A.I. does not eat, it doesn't sleep and it does not get sick.
- tleilaxu 3y agoIt may not get sick, but it does hallucinate. ;)
- waffletower 3y agoIn the short term, AI is creating jobs. If your code is replaceable by AI, you are definitely a replaceable coder without AI.
- Michelangelo11 3y agoYeah, exactly. As if the flow of money drying up wasn't enough.
- bdowling 3y ago> I see major development studios are fine with this change. Even if they didn’t have their own engines, they’re all big enough that they would be paying huge amounts in license fees, and thus have enough leverage to negotiate a contract without BS terms in it. In other news, the rental car company buying 1000 cars doesn’t do so on the same sales form used when a consumer buys 1 car.
- isk517 3y agoI suspect any of the larger companies that use Unity are going to weight in with their lawyers instead of public appeals.
