    A Potential Earthquake in the Videogame Industry: UNITY Install Fees

    Apparently Unity has been losing a lot of money in recent quarters, so maybe the shares wouldn't be seen as a good longterm investment? At least compared to what could be purchased with the money from a buyout sooner than later? Maybe there are other perks? I received a reply on Reddit...

    A Potential Earthquake in the Videogame Industry: UNITY Install Fees

    I think that rumor was debunked, though if Elon Musk wanted to sell off Twitter, and needed to reduce its share price some more to attract a buyout, I wouldn't put it past him to psych out the user base. I'm half convinced that the CEO of Unity is doing something like that - couldn't sell his...

    A Potential Earthquake in the Videogame Industry: UNITY Install Fees

    Another scary thought: The threshold for getting charged by Unity is actually much lower than it seems at first glance. A lot of people have multiple devices. Desktop, laptop, phone, Steam Deck, console. Multiple installs per customer upfront, and then they have devices they change over to in...

    D&D General How does magic work in D&D (In-Universe/Lorewise)?

    I've been researching the magic lore of DnD for a possible DMsGuild side project to be published perhaps in between The Trial of Asmodeus and Realmspace Traveler's Guide. The Weave is often mistaken as the "origin" of magic, when it is actually a tool for channeling magical energy and assisting...

    A Potential Earthquake in the Videogame Industry: UNITY Install Fees

    A Redditor caught some further shadiness from Unity; apparently a license change tracker was removed, and terms of service "silently" edited by Unity earlier this year. The commenter speculates that Unity is keeping the door open to more abrupt changes to the license in the future.

    A Potential Earthquake in the Videogame Industry: UNITY Install Fees

    Looks like Unity posted Q & A on their forums. https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-plan-pricing-and-packaging-updates.1482750/ Something sounds bat****-insane about this part: Q: Is software made in unity going to be calling home to unity whenever it's ran, even for enterprice licenses? A...

    A Potential Earthquake in the Videogame Industry: UNITY Install Fees

    Another update from the Axios reporter: "NEW - I got a major update from Unity about their new fees Unity "regrouped" and now says ONLY the initial installation of a game triggers a fee Demos mostly won't trigger fees Devs not on the hook for Game Pass"

    A Potential Earthquake in the Videogame Industry: UNITY Install Fees

    So apparently a reporter for Axios got a little more detail from Unity. "I got some clarifications from Unity regarding their plan to charge developers per game install (after clearing thresholds) - If a player deletes a game and re-installs it, that's 2 installs, 2 charges - Same if they...

    A Potential Earthquake in the Videogame Industry: UNITY Install Fees

    Game devs say Unity’s big change puts studios at risk So apparently there was an announcement about Unity having an install fee PER game copy downloaded. The information is unfortunately vague coming from the company, but this could affect a wide range of games, many of which people might not...

    D&D 5E (2014) What are THE wizard spells?

    Summoning spells deserve a shout out. So many plots revolve around summoning magic in popular literature.

    D&D 5E (2014) Player consent required -spoilers for new adv book

    It's worth noting that teens and 'tweens play DnD too, with teen and 'tween DMs running campaigns with their friends or classmates, so things that may seem common sense to an adult may not be so to a minor who is still learning social behaviors and norms. Reminding the DM about being...

    D&D 5E (2014) Should Planescape split Olympus and Arvandor into separate Layers of Aborea?

    In terms of today's social standards and business marketing, "almost nobody" is practically equivalent to "nobody". I don't make the rules of society; that's just how things are in the world. A few thousand potentially offended people (at best) won't affect the bottom line for a business that...

    D&D 5E (2014) Should Planescape split Olympus and Arvandor into separate Layers of Aborea?

    Almost nobody worships the Olympians anymore, so they would probably get a free "culture pass" to do whatever. Tyr, Tymora, Beshaba, and Silvanus would otherwise have been removed from the Forgotten Realms setting.

    D&D 5E (2024) Is Counterspell less frustrating now?

    A possible narrative reason why Constitution makes sense would be that Counterspell works by disrupting the physical flow of magical energy in the target's body as they're gathering that energy to cast the spell.

    D&D 5E (2014) What are the "True Issues" with 5e?

    I also include compact lists and spell summaries in the beginning of my projects, so it's not a problem for people to find what they're looking for - they don't have to go through the whole book page by page. Keeping it divided by level in the full description text section makes it so that...

    D&D 5E (2014) What are the "True Issues" with 5e?

    A lot of people were moved enough to comment for the way I organized the spells in my projects on DMsGuild, dividing spells by level then arranging them alphabetically in each level subsection, making the spells really easy to look up. I think that 5.5e and 6e need to have better organization...

    Modrons are creatures who are a mix of mechanical and biological, so not all parts can be readily replaced on their bodies.
