Apparently Genshin Impact and some Nintendo Games are made in Unity, and there are even some plans to charge Microsoft for Game Pass installs.
I hope Unity's legal team is prepared.
I really hope they're not, because this practice needs to crash and burn brightly as a warning beacon to other corpos' grubby fingers.
I hope their anuses are prepared.
Nintendo sure as fuck aren't bringing any lube.
Mental image of "it's a Me!" thrust
The only thing better is if Disney's legal department thinks there is a risk...
Well I mean I wouldn't mind seeing Genshin Impact suffer. They're advertising and fanbase are insufferable. But I've never been a fan of Unity and it's nice to see everybody else getting on board now too.
