Outcry from the game development community has led to Unity rethinking its upcoming policy change, which it still insists will affect a small amount of users.

    Hopefully every developer who has the means to still drops Unity like a bad habit. They’ve tipped their hand and shown what they’re willing to do, which is ‘as much as we can possibly get away with’. It’s only a matter of time until they find a new, more abusive way to do this. I think at this point, any developer who chooses to use Unity when other options are equally viable for their project is, to use Unity’s CEO’s own words, “a fucking idiot”.

      Caves of Qud was (mostly) ported in a weekend.
