Risk of Rain creators Hopoo Games join Valve
3 Sep 2024 at 12:03 pm UTC

Quoting: pb"What do you think they will be working on?"

Given Valve's track record, definitely not Risk of Rain 3. :whistle:
Maybe Left 4 Dead 3? if the rumor true that Half life 3 is being worked on.

Unity introduces new fees for game devs based on revenue and game installs
13 Sep 2023 at 11:29 am UTC

Quoting: EhvisI understand that Unity is in a bit of a difficult position. Their main competitor is Unreal Engine and Epic is not playing fair competition by leveraging Fortnite money to buy customers. And this is probably made worse by the fact that Unity mostly gets the smaller development teams for which UE4/5 is simply too complicated.

But damn, whoever thought of this one really didn't think things through. Even in the best practical scenario, charging by install will make it impossible to know what the cost of your engine will be. Especially for the lowest tier, this would make it impossible to use for anything but free games. I suppose the devs have at least an option to make their game free after reaching an income of $199k. But honestly, I feel that the Unity board room is a bit out of touch with their customer base.
Bigger problem epic can just the same nothing stopping them if unity gets away with it.

Microsoft wins against FTC to buy Activision Blizzard

Quoting: cybikOn one side, consolidation is bad, yes.

On the other? Activision/Blizzard is so badly managed, so hostile and so much of a "let's pay Bobby to be the worst human" company (Kotick's salary is north of 125 MILLION USD) that I'm fine with Microsoft taking over, ejecting him, and forcing an actual corporate culture into the bloody thing instead of having a game development company operate completely out of spite.
I still think Microsoft it's going to keep Bobby, Microsoft is just to busy to replace anyone important to keep the company going and making that big money. Just let see what happen next even if I don't agree Microsoft buying Blizzard.
