This but unironically describes Unity's new pricing model.

Yeah this is from 2019? Seems pretty prescient

Things truly are dire when a 4Chan shitpost can be called prescient.

Something something ... 1 million chimps on typewriters ... something.

Nope. It's a common joke to show that a company doesn't actually lose money when a game is pirated.

[–] GillyGumbo@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

It's simply a comment on how piracy =/= lost sales. Don't look too far into it.

Holy shit. I didn't look at the date until I saw your post. Anon is the new Nostradamus.

Does it apply to free to play games? If so that's stupid af

[–] Zacryon@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No. Afaik this only takes effect after certain revenue and install thresholds.

[–] Tnaeriv@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

F2P games can still make money. Look: microtransactions. So this absolutely applies to them.

[–] Zacryon@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Ah yeah, sorry, wasn't thinking about dark pattern games.

[–] Venat0r@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That effects free to play games that make money, also demos for games that make money...

For this green text to be properly updated, the first line needs to be changed to, "Purchase game on Steam."
