I read today that about half the games are made with unity, imagine if most of those pulled the games you purchased so it can’t be installed again. That is a huge hit to gaming.
7 Days to Die, Escape from Tarkov, Wasteland 2, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Cities: Skylines, Dungeons 3, Cult of the Lamb, Endless Space 1 and 2, Outerwilds,
Well they obviously won't. It's always the same with these things, they either come to terms, or the producers will pay up, or the reports are overblown or whatever. Just like reddit didn't lose half its userbase after the API switch, or Youtube doesn't crumble because everyone throws a fit when they add another commercial slot and swears to move to "pipetube" or whatever (lol). But thank god we're all really really invested in something that is essentially corporate politics.
It's not corporate politics if it's going to have an effect on the end users. You'd be surprised at how big of an impact this will have, if they don't backpedal this and cancel it entirely, and even if they do it could still an impact.
Stop feeding the dipshit. Not worth your energy.
