And the players are the ones making them for themselves so they can just make the bad and false ones be insignificant if it bothers them so much.

Mending is so good, and as a Cantrip you don't even need to be a practiced caster.

Enshittification advances. Consoles already are the prime example of devices that act as if they are still owned by the company rather than the customer, but they somehow find even more ways to make it worse...

I'm tired of disposable clothing.

Unfortunately people's wages haven't kept up with inflation either, so that would just be a double whammy of making people who already struggling to pay for essentials pay more for entertainment as well, and at that point I'd think some people would just decide they can keep playing their old games.

That doesn't add up, in this case. If they simply announced a revenue share, something that Unreal Engine already has, it wouldn't have been anywhere as controversial. Some devs would grumble but it wouldn't have been taken as an existential threat worth jumping ship as soon as possible.

The whole charge per download was likely an attempt to get more money out of freemium mobile games, but nobody was willing to accept that.

Really, the damage to their image so significant, it's likely many dev studios will drop it even under those conditions, just out of lost trust.

I know and thank goodness for that... but there will be projects that simply won't be able to afford to move to entirely different engines. It's a lot of work that might have to be redone.

Charging "per install" as opposed to "per sale" will be goddamn awful. At best it might lead to DRM where you'll have a limited number of installs before you lose the game you bought.

Seems like any career that is commonly seen as a passion comes with an additional level of exploitation. Game developers and animators get a raw deal.

It absolutely needs backwards compatibility. Throwing away the whole Nintendo Switch library would be a waste, and there are some games that would even benefit from improved performance.

Ah, yes, because christians are definitely not known for any atrocities
