Oh boy, I do sure love the smell of a good PR disaster in the morning. I’m not going to go into details here since I’m sure most of you already know what this is about. It’s basically Unity (the game engine) suddenly going fully retarded and demanding money for each user install, and to boot, having it to be retroactive. From what I understand this would cover all games released, so imagine you published a game a couple of years ago, and now unexpectedly you are supposed to pay thousands in fees to Unity for the amount of people who installed your game. Seems pretty unethical and illegal to me.

It has come to my attention that my love for the past often clouds my judgment of modern gaming. Often to such a degree that I will often blanket new games as something inferior. In some ways, it can be true since there was a lot less focus on identity politics and such, which is a real killer when it comes to entertainment. However, when listening to Tim Cain’s YouTube channel about his role when developing Fallout and Arcanum: of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, everything, and I mean almost everything came down to pure luck.
