I agree that these are the companies that are actually underpaying for Unity. Honestly, if you make millions or billions and pay peanuts for the engine you're using then I see why that would rub the company making it the wrong way.
What I don't understand is why they don't simply impose a revenue share (starting from some lower limit), like Unreal does.
Mihoyo and big gacha in general either have a special contract that is different from the general conditions one or they have the upper tier in which case they still pay peanuts since it’s like $0.01 per download, so 25 millions download would still be only 250k
It's more that the year as a whole was a mess for Squeenix, between the tons of releases in a row last fall, and forspoken.
The stock drop was on the financial results day and hasn't recovered since.
I bought Anonymous Code and Eternights yesterday. I have not even started up Starfield or Sea of Stars. Still need to finish Trails into Reverie and P3P.
But most likely I will start a BG3 Dark Urge run next...
Yeah, it's a multiple of things and those haven't really changed since the last time we talked about this.
- FF 14 is on a non-expansion year
- FF 16 did okay for Square, but investors expected more
- Mobile has been on a downward trend for years. We shall see how Ever Crisis will do for them.
- etc
HoT Potatoes on Steam
If you have Hall of Torment or Brotato, they bundled together so you can get the other game at a slightly discount
Well FF16 is likely my disappointment of the year I’ll say that much
I can see that being what's really happening here, but I wonder when that kind of shit worked. You have to be at least more subtle about it and not ask for too much, even in your initial unrealistic ask.
Totally not comparable, but ultimately comparable, look at all the Dungeon & Dragon SRD drama at the beginning of the year. They didn't get the magical outcome of a 4D plan, they just scared away third parties. Like Unity.
No really, when is bad news negotiation appropriate, I wonder.
16 sucked balls, PC players will get suckered in when it comes to Steam in 2034
I also wonder about the Apple show yesterday. I saw people being hyper to see RE and Assassin's Creed on iOS and... so what ?
Don't get me wrong, I love games and I'm not a mobile hater by default, but Apple as shown time and again that they don't get, or want to get, gaming, and it's not with a couple of impressive late ports that anything will change.
Will the Appstore be suddenly sanely set up with a shopping cart and a whishlist ? Will people start paying more than 10 bucks for their mobile fix ?
And in what world having to shell out something like 1500 will threaten consoles ? (because yeah, I really saw that fucking moronic take)
Apple showed a couple of impressive games, it's what they do every couple of years, and nothing will come out of it. As usual. Because they don't care enough to work their mess into a viable ecosystem.

I mean, AAA games running on a mobile is impressive.
I don't care if they have no future plans following it. Also, fuck Apple.

Anyway, it looks like these new Square Enix articles have been triggered by a new Bloomberg article (linking the Era thread which has a link inside, since I don't know about the "etiquette" regarding sharing these pay-walled articles) and reading through it it does have a bit of a different nuance with some interesting new info nuggets.
One interesting part that stood out to me:
But sheesh, there are some really rough quotes
One interesting part that stood out to me:
Looks like Ever Crisis hasn't been a hit either (though we'll have to wait until the end of the month for SensorTower stats to get a better idea of what this means in numbers, and who knows it could be another case of investor expectations being different from Square expectations.)
But sheesh, there are some really rough quotes
But then arrive next OS update or next mobile update and all your games are unplayable, you cannot even download them.
Fool me once…
Fool me once…
Why not sell the stock AFTER the announcement you KNOW will be unpopular is announced to the public, if it is as you say?
Nah, it's still technically insider trading in my eyes.
I think Apple get lots of shit when it comes to gaming, and lots of that is deserved, but they aren't that horrible, for example they have good cross platform thing going on, buy one game and play it on the phone, tablet, computer and hell even on the TV. Granted all apple platforms but still.
They do lots of shitty stuff, which I haven't gotten clarified, for example comes games that are on MacOS don't have their Mac port on Steam and I asked around and didn't get a straight answer, so there might be some contractual shit going on.
But I am at least hopeful for the gaming future of Apple.
wonder what multiplatform announcements we'll get here (already leaked new BG&E1 remaster would make sense for starters)
Though the question is if Ubi will release it on Steam or not.
That example is what the Unity thing instantly reminded me of. However, in the case of the D&D thing, by all accounts their intentions were their actual intentions, it wasn't some plan to get less worse terms out. They clearly stated, regardless, that they were willing to defy the spirit of their own legal contract and upend the community that makes their product a success, so yea no one should ever trust them again unless the entire leadership team is axed and replaced.
Same thing with Unity - although it seems less likely this plan change is "legitimate" given the number of normal questions they can't answer, and the number of clearly impossible/illegal things they claim will happen when trying to alleviate concerns (there is absolutely no possible way for Unity to hold distributors like Steam, Microsoft responsible for these financials). Unity have also claimed this is 100% retroactive but there's actually no tracking like this in current Unity exe (or equivalent) which means stuff out in the wild that never sees another update will just not be impacted (which makes sense but Unity claims they will be, somehow).
Also spindoctor it's still clearly textbook insider trading - a small amount is still an amount. The fact that it's small this time is immaterial given that it is a distinctly bigger sale than he usually makes, and the previous times were even bigger amounts at higher values. The reason he (and others like him) do that is because there's effectively no enforcement in the US of this outside of the most egregious cases that cost other super wealthy people at the same time, because they're the ones that are gonna call their buddies in the government to investigate it.

No thanks, one repulsive person was enough. I don't need them to combo.
I mean, I loved Bomberman, like everyone else. And I didn't get to play the first one.
...but at this price they are high on drugs.
Not the first JP game that went price berserk recently, I hope they will cool down.

I paid an absurd amount for Bomberman 64 back in the day. As far as I'm concerned, Konami still owes me.
that's the point imho, they probably hope they won't fight tooth and nail for that since it's a relatively "low" sum for a successful gacha.
Got my eyes on this one since an Octopath inspired wuxia RPG sounds cool. My biggest concern is the English script being janky.
Second best N64 commercial.
You're totally right but according with recent prices for japanese games is not even expensive, let's say:
and I'm a Type Moon fan so probably I will get it day one (I hope with a third party key). It's insane.
I'm excited to play that but I'm really surprised other PS5 games that came out before it aren't coming out first.Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition : Cette exclusivité Playstation sortira sur PC (c'est confirmé!)

Unity can get fucked
Yesterday Unity announced that starting next year, all games that use their engine will pay a tax per user install. The tax has ...
Gerry Newman (Garrys Mod, Rust, etc) on the unity stuff
As someone that has been playing Rust for like forever now they had been hand in hand with unity in the sense of they actually helped them a lot because Rust was one of the most "high profile" games or at least biggest consistent userbase games to the point where some fixes/issues for Rust were literally held up because they were waiting on unity to fix the problem as opposed to the other way around
Its kind of absurd how much goodwill they've thrown out in less than a day

I was expecting Ghost or Demons Soul but Forbidden West is not a bad choice. It will sell GPUs at least.Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition : Cette exclusivité Playstation sortira sur PC (c'est confirmé!)

He is reliable from what I have gathered. He used to leak PS+ games pretty often.
I'm still not buying it completely that it's next in line though. The complete edition of Forbidden West is rated for PS5 only.
My last last last maybe thoughts on Unity.
I bought Vampire Survivors for £2.09 and this was made on Unity (I believe). After Steams 30% and then tax (I used the UK rate of 20% this could be different elsewhere) that means the dev got £1.18 of my money. However if that happened next year, the dev would have only gotten about £0.60 of my money because I have installed it 4 times on my PC/Steam Deck.
So yeah, no more budget games on unity.
