I wish I could write it out because it’s such a great laugh but it doesn’t translate well to text
No no, they have proprietary methods of aggregating install data so they will know.
Depending on how long the backlash can stick around, I would expect to see it go down with a large exodus. In particular, if Microsoft gets upset about the impact it could have to gamepass. Unity does seem to be backtracking, but it really feels like they overextended on purpose to make the actual result feel less shitty
Yeah, I did read it. Doesn’t mean he didn’t know that there would be backlash
You think they just suddenly came up with this model? No shit they have to jump through hoops. That doesn’t stop them from doing it in advance of something like this

It’s so much fun! You get the ultimate prize when you finally make it land on top
What a dumb fucking thing to post. I hope you feel like a moron
I was just coming to post this! Thanks, cops!

I find it to be in poor taste. It has been 22 years, and we still don’t see them year-round yet. How has it taken so long.
They switched their backend and you might need to clear your DNS cache in order for it to resolve properly
