Seems like Unity are really going to get punished.
Plenty of companies renege on promises, or stiff their customers, and
we just suck it up and keep coming back. Take Sony, discussed earlier
as "deserving" of being hacked, but all the same we keep buying their
stuff no matter how despicable their behaviour.
Something is different about this.
There's a community that seems to have solidity. And they seem
hell-bent on rubbing Unity's nose in its own poop.
And Unity is small and dependent enough to be really hurt. I expect
they will survive, but as markets get more specialised I wonder if in
times to come coordinated action will totally take down companies.
- ComputerGuru 3y agoI think it’s that Unity actually isn’t that big and evil that (unfortunately?) makes it so they are more likely to pay a price for their egregiousness than truly Machiavellian entities operating at world scale. I wish the world would get likewise up in arms at being similarly abused by the likes of true industrial titans (in and out of the tech sector).
- nonrandomstring 3y ago> I think it’s that Unity actually isn’t that big and evil Yep, I remember when they were getting together, was it around 2006 maybe, when they were the kid on the block and Unreal was heavy. > that (unfortunately?) makes it so they are more likely to pay a price Kinda how the second or third biggest kid attracts the bullies. Not saying the game community are "bullying" Unity, but there are bigger fish to fry.
