It's nice that #Unity3D walked back to terms that don't apply unless you use their latest engine, but that's the take-away: you need to not use their latest anymore. Finish your game. Find another engine. This is just an escape clause.
Anyone who sticks with them will get screwed the next time their c-suite wants to goose their stock price.
@pup_hime they still want you to play the pvp but at least this lets you get a hang of the game until you're ready for it

A silly milestone we passed sometime this year: The Internet Archive now emulates (to various degrees, of course), over 250,000 pieces of software, hardware, and electronics, thanks to the effort of a dozen emulation projects and all of them running in the browser. Live again, ancient software!
They're under this helpful collection tree:

@DrSandraDuffy not quite the same (well, not even remotely, i know you're a huge rugby fan) but I still love the cartoon
@amberhearts@meow.social yup, there's a bit of a story line after you beat the final boss, and you can unlock more stuff you couldn't during standard gameplay!
Beat #CultOfTheLamb final boss for the second time, this time on Hard, and now I get to experience the post-game!

some people have been going around saying the unity news isn't so bad because "it doesn't affect very many people" and
1. there are plenty of reasons to be nervous about a move like this even if it doesn't (currently) affect you
2. the indie studios that aren't getting millions in budget from venture capital but are still doing gamedev full-time professionally are already squeezed enough without unity skimming even more off the top
some of you are acting like grossing 200k in a year for an entire studio is like winning the jackpot, when in reality between platform holders, publishers, and governments taking their cut 200k what's left could well be far below subsistence wages for team members
so yeah, a large percentage of unity users won't be affected, but a large percentage of the indie "middle class", who make a large number of the indie games most people enjoy, *will* be highly affected. and i don't think that's okay. i think that's worthy of some panic
