Let's see how this pans out over the week, still heaps of opportunities for unity to fuck this up further
How could Unity possibly fuck up any worse than they already have?
An uninstallation fee for users to prevent them from defrauding devs by repeatedly reinstalling.
Delete this before the EA CEO sees it please.
Don't worry I'm pretty sure he and Adobe CEO have been comparing notes
Charge 1 cent for every day the app remains unused if installed, 2 cents for every day after it was uninstalled
And that is when computer usage itself will seriously go downhill. Imagine holding customers captive in such a way.
I can totally see them teaming up with Microsoft to make that happen though.
