[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 9133371, member: 4348"] I don't know what's going on with Unity. I know many are concerned about it. I have no idea why they are making the decisions they are. I think sometimes it depends on the size of the legal department. There are lawyers with different expertise in different areas. I have used a team of legal experts and even among them they have different focuses on what they are good at. Many of them work with contracts, but there are different types of contracts and they each have a focus. There are others that work on other areas. Other places may have fewer lawyers and perhaps only have one that works on contracts, one that works on paper/administrative, one that works on civil defense (civil cases), or perhaps just one lawyer for the entire organization. I have no idea of the size of UNITY's legal department. I can't find out how big it is with my current resources either. It may have nothing to do with the lawyers and everything to do with the Board. It could be developers, lawyers, and others are yelling their heads off against the move, but the Board decided to do it anyways. I don't know, it's hard to know what's going on in their business decisions. In trying to find out I have read some interesting things though, for example that around 9 years ago two execs wanted to sell Unity to Microsoft (deal fell through) and that in relation to the move that just occurred recently there are RUMORS (and that's exactly what they are...Rumors...nothing substantial says this and I've seen no evidence) that a large motivator for this was that they wanted their chunk of Genshin Impact money. My biggest concern right now...though...ironically, has nothing to do with business. I have Subnautica on a console. Am I going to be able to install it on the next generation of consoles (as long as they are backwards compatible) without having to pay a fee? Yeah...I'm cheap like that. [/QUOTE]
