I'm seeing a lot of #gamers on mastodon claim that they will stop buying games that are #madewithunity because of #unity's recent pricing announcement.
To those folks, I'd like to say: Please don't #boycott. We game developers appreciate the sentiment. We appreciate the solidarity. But there is currently no way for consumers to vote with their wallets against #unity without hurting game developers more.
So, please. Keep buying #games. Keep installing them. Keep playing them.
Give us the sales revenue we need to retrain our people to use new engines for our next release.
@LouisIngenthron Some people are angry about this nebulous install tracking, and don't want to buy for that reason.
@midnightspire I have very bad news for them then... While there's no way to know for sure because they haven't released the details, it's very likely going to be running on the Unity Analytics platform, which has been baked in and reporting back for years already.
