Also I guess AMD is fine with having much lower margins compared to Nvidia which makes them very competitive in this marker?

Depends on your definition of “good” I suppose? It’s hardly that different from caffeine in that sense..

> Using open source development tools is fine Yea but the article is claiming that Unity is including LGPL libraries in apps built with Unity, not just the editor itself.

> I've never understood the problem with (L)GPL code on iOS devices AFAIK Apple just doesn’t allow apps which don’t that on the app store regardless of how the developer would chose to interpret the license

by ffgjgf1 3y ago
> But is that Unity’s problem? Well: 1. Unity itself is using plenty of LGPL libraries itself so the same concerns apply. 2. If this is not an issue on desktop platforms where you can comply with LGPL there is nothing wrong with allowing

Boo ran on Mono though. Their flavor of JavaScript, UnityScript wasn’t even remotely similar to standard JS besides syntax, it also ran on Mono. I vaguely remember them trying Python initially but IIRC Boo and “JavaScript” were always based

Is there is other way to describe what was going on in Tigray?

> but it is a good point on that topic that Switch games can be distributed without the software store. Perhaps, yet despite that the Apple app store is considerably more open in almost every other way.

> 2020 Right.. yet it’s 2024 as far as I’m aware and inflation is tracked on a rolling 12 month basis. If it was only 10% during those 3 years, it’s approximately 3.2% per year which is close enough (of course the official inflation was

Are there that many smartphones that are actually capable of running YT and have a access to a version of Android/iOS that’s still supported and are 4g only? iPhone 5 was the first to support 4G and I’m not sure the 4s or 4 are really

> Conversely, if you don’t like iOS your only other option is Android. Two players. To be fair Google’s control over Android is far more limited. Manufacturers can make significant modifications to it if they wish.

How exactly? You can still only run applications approved by Nintendo. Also besides this the Switch is still massively more restrictive than the iOS appstore
466.
by ffgjgf1 3y ago
What are you arguing about then? Nintendo controls the Switch platform much more strictly than Apple does, it’s cheaper and much easier to ship a game on iOS
467.
by ffgjgf1 3y ago
What does that change? Only advantage I can think of is that you can share/resell physical copies

The Unity is fee is capped at 2.5% though. For example is your game is $20 it’s between 0.35-0.55%. > Heck at free/open source you’re paying Unreal nothing and Unity a flat rate so then it’s infinite percent of your revenue Unless y

> most indies True. But I wasn’t really talking about indies (or not only them anyway). Also the Unity fee/royalty thing doesn’t kick in below 1 million $ AND users, and above that is somewhere between 0.1% and 2.5% depending on you

Yeah. But they entirely reversed that part and also the new fees/royalty scheme is perfectly reasonable cost wise > A higher but predictable percentage of sales can be appealing compared to that. Well again the current model is basi

> aside That’s a massive “aside” though? Unreal’s royalty is 5%? With the pricing changes Unity’s is 2.5% or as low as 0.N% if you go with the instal fees. If each of your developers cost 100-200k or more per year the $2000 yearly licens

by ffgjgf1 3y ago
You can pick from either rev share or pay per install now. It also won’t be applied retroactively. But I guess not that many noticed this after the initial outcry
