NEWS

3:03:09 board members selling unity shares before dropping the following news: announcing a runtime fee for every game that runs on unity past certain thresholds. Also, retroactively pay for copies already sold

 - 3:05:35 at least you only have to pay from unity versions from now on, as you only have to pay attention to the version of TOS your unity shipped with- oh, they took down the TOS.

 - 3:06:48 its been theorized that they want people to use the ad platform.

 - 3:09:06 pirate a game 100 times. Deleting a game and reinstalling also does it. Charity game bundles are exempted, unless the charity is planned parenthood or a childrens hospital

 - 3:11:48 you can blame john riccitiello for everything.

 - 3:30:49 looking at the profitability of unity.

 - 3:32:30 exponential growth forever.
