ahah fuck me
love it when the CEO of the biggest game engine calls its most creative users "fucking idiots" for not engaging with the most scummy and exploitative monetization practice possible
"it's just a joke"
it might very well be but who cares!!
that doesn't make it, not an insult, and a very fucking tone deaf one at this moment
Unity has been thriving thanks to a huge indie scene of people who make experimental games, just for fun, or to test some out-there concepts, for the sake of the art itself
and it's just so sad to see Unity losing touch with those of us who helped cultivate this community
unity has *always* been the go-to engine for engaging with the creative and artistic side of game dev, and yet, here we are
this is why it's so insulting to me, hearing the CEO calling us "fucking idiots" for not focusing on fucking "compulsion loops"
I've been using unity for over a decade
I'll probably keep using it for now, because *literally everything* I do is in unity, whether it's in education, game dev, or for my videos
so when my income and professional life depends on Unity doing well it really hurts seeing it burn
but what do I know I'm just a fucking idiot
