I mean, why would you expect them not to charge you money for something they clearly spend tons of money in developing? They are a business.
The bait and switch is real, but after N of them we have to start asking ourselves whose fault is it if we fall for the N+1th one.
- zlg_codes 3y agoIn my case I haven't fallen for anything, but this community seems to have a problem with pointing out it's mostly businesses doing this behavior. If you stay away from commercial software, this crap disappears. It shouldn't be normal to expect to be exploited imo.
- elteto 3y agoIt was a rhetorical "you" ;) Businesses will do business things, I don't think we should really be surprised when they decide to not subsidize everyone anymore. In other words, a company giving you a "free" product like Unreal should be assumed to be a loan that you will have to pay in the future.
