A little over a year ago, PIF and Silver Lake were announced as two parts of EA's new ownership trifecta, following a $55 billion buyout agreement, and it has now been revealed in a new Reuters report that PIF and Silver Lake have met with Unity Software to initiate talks to buy the game engine...

    This is another good reason to GTFO when the enshitification starts. Not only because the experience itself will continue to be a testing ground for how much more you’ll pay and how much worse you’ll put up with, but the endgame, is almost always them trying to get bought out for the highest price … either directly through a buyout or indirectly through an IPO. Hat’s off to everyone reading this here tonight on Lemmy instead of reddit.

      Dude,

      You can say “ass” and “fuck” if you want to. You’re on an 18+ social media platform, and everyone would understand what you meant even if you weren’t. You can choose other words if you feel like these ones are too strong for you. It’s your right to do this, but it comes off as f***ing fucking weird.

      Sincerely,

      Everyone

        I always felt “f***” was dirtier than just writing “fuck” - maybe that’s the intended effect

          Then don’t use them. Using them but censored is not just dumb, it’s weak. Stand by your conviction and use other words. It’s okay not to use curses

    I fucking knew it, of course the sell out is total.

    If anybody has a bunch of LLM tokens to burn, and wants to use them for good, convert everything thats free and clear on the Unity Asset Store over to Godot.

    They both use C#, we can worry about converting things to GDScript later.

    Oh God, my initial thought was unreal it is then but then no fuck that. Perhaps Gotdot, still has a long way to go with 3D development though yeah?

      Godot is perfectly capable for 3D and many games are using it. Sure it’s not AAA so if you mean that then yes it’s behind but for 75% or more of games it’s just fine.

          They do a yearly showreel that really shows off the engine worth quickly looking at for examples. All are actual games https://youtu.be/7ZwEmxihlw4

      id has an awesome engine but Bethesda prevented them from letting 3rd parties use it, and now Microsoft has gutted the company and fired the people who build/maintain it
