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

I keep seeing people saying they are happy to use AI text generators as sources of factual information, because they're confident that when the thing generates an inaccurate answer they'll easily spot it.
Speaking from my experience of 20+ years of professional fact-checking: the errors you can spot easily are not the ones you need to worry about.
