Agreed, but it's also economically sound option., so that bolsters the validity somewhat, but you never know.
I think the difference here is the potencial debt for these companies if nothing changes. On Reddit it was only affecting potencial revenue instead of having to pay more than you earn.
Pretty much. And true engagement (comments/boosts) has been higher than on Twitter from a few anecdotal tests I seen as there is no value in liking something and moving on like on Twitter.
I agree. It's always a guess based on information known at the time.
There are other royaltee free engines to consider and even with non-free most wouldn't be affected as caps are a lot higher than what Unity proposed. But it's definetely not an easy choise as once you again the studio has to commit to someone else in hopes of it staying true long tem.
I would hope that analitical minds would prevail. But that's my bias. I see your point.
In short term, sure, but I don't think that even full reversal would help in long term. Staking your companies future on someone that already tried to backstab you once never goes well.
Thank you for the discussion, it always nice to hear well thought different perspectives. And sorry for the late response.
Likewise. I hope you're right and there's some long term consequence for this. I'm just too cynical not to assume that someone, somewhere will come out of this with a tidy profit.
