Someone finally calculated the cost of legal challenges, I guess. While this certainly saves in developer costs in legal fees, I don’t see why anyone would keep their projects in Unity under the new terms, charging a developer based on a metric disconnected from sales is always going to incur unacceptable risk unless the developer has really deep pockets.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Game developers flee Unity after exorbitant price plan announced, but not everyone can get out
19·2 years agoEven if they are not currently lying and have the magical ability to determine the exact number of installs. They have shown that they will arbitrarily change their pricing structure. There is no way they can be trusted. Anyone who can move their project to a new engine would be wise to do so.

246·2 years agoBecause the mod itself is intended as a form of political grandstanding. So that bigots can download it thousands of times and then hold it up and say ‘look how many people are modding the woke out of BG3’ in an attempt to discourage inclusive content in other titles.

Games@sh.itjust.works•EA confirms The Sims 5 will be free-to-play and co-exist alongside The Sims 4
5·2 years agoI am cautiously hopeful for Life By You. My favorite thing in the Sims was to set up crazy soap opera dramas and see what happens, but Sims 4 sims are so docile and boring, it feels a lot more like just playing with dolls and decorating the house. I’m not judging if that’s the part you like, but it’s just not for me.

8·2 years agoOuter Wilds is top of my list for most profound video game experiences. I have never went from joy to thinking “Oh. Oh…” so fast in one game. Plus, the music and graphics are so well done and support the narrative themes and mood. Just a masterpiece game.

World News@lemmy.world•Eating meat creates four times more greenhouse gases than being vegan, landmark study finds
31·3 years agoI would describe myself as vegetarian but there is a wide variety of ways to be strict about it so it’s almost a useless way to describe oneself. Personally, I avoid cheese because of rennet, wine because of eisenglass, I won’t eat anything with gelatin, i avoid eggs unless they come from my friends who have chickens (because I know their chickens are well cared for). I end up being close to vegan but don’t really feel like that label fits me because I’m sure I eat butter without realizing it, or other milk products which can end up in places you don’t expect (milk is in tootsie rolls, for example).
On the other hand I know vegetarians who just avoid meat and are fine with chicken or beef stock or gelatin.

Fediverse@kbin.social•The Germans are taking over my feed because they are using the Boost function very efficiently, arent they?
3·3 years agoSame here; I used to be fluent, but lost it to disuse, it’s been nice to brush out the lingual cobwebs.
It sounds like you’re a little bit into it. If at this point you are not curious about the Nomai or why you keep dying and finding answers to those questions, then you should stop playing. The game might not be for you. Because it tells a non-linear story and if you don’t care about the story then there’s nothing there for you.
That being said, my experience with the game was heavily influenced by recent loss in my life and playing it helped me process my grief. Naturally that is a highly personal experience. But there was one point in particular where I read one bit of text and the realization of the implications just made me sit there and cry until I died.
But I was fully invested in the story. If that isn’t important to you the gameplay alone isn’t going to carry it.
