  • Unity’s take is 2.5% past $1m in revenue.

    Is that before or after they backtracked?

    The point isn’t even whether the terms are acceptable anymore. They tried to change the deal retroactively because they felt they had a strong position in that game developers are already invested into their ecosystem.

    They may have gone back to saner terms for now but unless the entire management structure resigns, there’s no reason not to say they won’t try again in the future.

    You can’t go good business with bad people.

    I use Linux and tons of other open source software daily. I have published and maintain a number of open source projects, and contribute regularly to others.

    I also pay for closed source software and have a few proprietary apps that I sell.

  • As VP he most likely stands to get a decent payout from the IPO.

    It’s easy to think of Reddit as a dictatorship where everyone is deathly afraid of big bad spez, but the reality is that these types of corporate structures are usually completely rotten at the top.

    Let me put it another way: do you think if spez were to be run over by a bus tomorrow, anything would change?

    I’ll ignore your comments about the Nazis before we Goodwin this thread, but dude, what an awful comparison.



  • YouTube premium doesn’t change anything about the videos themselves, so you still get the sponsor and like/subscribe plugs.

    I understand there are extensions that remove that stuff but I’ve never tried them as I watch YouTube on many different devices and can’t be bothered to tweak each and every one. Also those don’t bother me that much and are easy enough to skip.
