Re: Unity To Charge Developers A Fee Each Time A Game Is Installed Next Year

@Switch_Pro You really sound like an arm chair developer.

Just because bigger studios you care about don't use it, doesn't mean this isn't a big problem for everyone.Unity having been in the industry for quite sometime to the point that hundreds of studios relied on it and have developed their own tools and frameworks around it. Just to "Oh the industry knows its going downhill, just change engines" isn't a drop it and forget it task.

This also sets a bad precedence for the industry. If any middleware, not just game engines, start doing this, either the costs for development will be passed to the consumer, or the studio just dies.

In an industry where 90% of "AAA" games are just chasing after the latest trend, a lot of indie games are the heart and soul of the industry and having their main engine utilized against them is just hearbreaking.

I'm not part of the development studio but I follow the developer when they first started. They are a small studio who are huge Nintendo fans obviously, and they like making games on discontinued Nintendo hardware. They're doing this out of passion and wanted to make a sjmall Holiday themed game for fun, but due to the pandemic and other factors made them miss the launch date. Please be kind, they are really nice developers who are just doing things out of passion. They are making a game for Switch as a bigger project.

It breaks my heart that people will rip on a small passion project made by group of fans who just want to breathe some life into an underrated console.
