It’s not like we are arming up against each other or anything, this is just some friendly border negotiations about strategic resource allocation on the eastern farmlands.
Everything is fine.

I get that some had no choice, but honestly, the writing was on the wall for at least two years if not longer.
Unity is beyond saving, and it's only downhill from here.

Ugh @unity.com making bad decisions again. Update 3.13.0 of the Unity Hub, when making a new project you can only connect it to Unity Cloud, there is no option to disable it and create a local only project. I hope this is just a bug! discussions.unity.com/t/hub-3-13-0...
Hub 3.13.0 feedback
Maybe I’m holding it wrong but the “New Project” form is missing the “Connect to Unity Cloud” checkbox - so I’m now forced to use Cloud?? Did I miss something in Ts & Cs?

Wonder why these great books don’t have decent e-book versions in popular online stores. All my other game design books are digital, and they are just CONVENIENT! #gamedesign

Here is a hard-to-swallow pill: The programming world is much broader than just game programming, and not all the good ideas are invented here.
I'm really excited to witness the game development community finally embrace free and open-source software development after today's Unity incident.

Most of us knew that game dev is a creative business, and nothing else harms a creative business more than ignorant management dramas and cash-grab monetization strategies. Fortunately, 2023 gives us many new insightful examples, with BG3 being the most remarkable.

It's only natural that a live-service free-to-play mobile game becomes a pay-to-win cash grab at one point in its lifetime.
Their business model is flawed by design as far as honest and responsible gameplay experiences are concerned.
