Yet here we are, and evil we are. Case closed

You can go ahead and waste time beleaguering the point if you want. It’s not gonna change the fact that humanity is inherently evil whether you like it or not.

If it makes you feel better, it means I am evil too. Then again, so are you. We all are. It’s just the natural state of being human.

If there’s anything one should notice in life, it’s that yes, that is how grown adult humans act.

They’re all just entitled spoiled brats. Their kids are unironically more mature than they are.

See, here’s my problem with that: humanity is inherently evil so everyone would be killed by such a thing.

Why would you need to ask some stupid chatbot that when you could have asked any one of us?

I wasn’t talking about ads at all, but feel free to continue simping for a developer that clearly doesn’t give a fuck about you. The only one who’s going to suffer from it is you.

Uh no, we can hold adults responsible for their actions. If his livelihood depends on exploiting and abusing his users, he needs to go find a better livelihood.

Sarcasm is lost on you people.

I’m surprised someone hasn’t launched a game platform in some other country to help developers skirt such laws, point in fact.

Licensing and copyright infringement doesn’t mean jack shit if you do business with an entity from a country that doesn’t respect such things. Even lawsuits wouldn’t do anything in that case. And even if Unity went to the press about it, you could just hold up a giant middle finger and people would still buy your game.

Enforcement is the only thing that truly matters.

You can sit there and try to convince me to care all you want; I’m not going to.

Even back on .world when I told you all to get rid of the downvote feature, you all told me that downvotes were unimportant and anyone who openly cared about them is a massive autistic nerd who desperately needs to go touch grass. Now when I don’t care and you do, you complain because now you can’t weaponize them to try to control me.

And that is, far and away, a you problem.

Now you can choose to waste more of your precious time on this Earth trying to get one over on me and failing or you can do what I told you to do: use Godot or make your own engine. Your choice, fam.

Even so, you’re being downvoted to oblivion

And there’s a very good reason for that:

Literally no one cares if I am being downvoted or not. I don’t. No one else does. The only one immature enough to think being downvoted on some open source platform is a problem is you.

If I cared, I wouldn’t say a fifth of a third of a quarter of the insane bullshit I spew out of this account every day.

You’re also not listening to what I’m telling you because you don’t really want to put forth the effort to do anything to better your situation, you want a positive solution handed to you and more importantly you want your emotions catered to, and neither of those beefs is my problem. That’s all on you. I won’t cater to your emotions or spare your feelings. Others even pointed you to an easy solution, Godot, and you still whine. Therefore the problem is you.

I will be over here chilling and using Godot while you whine, cry and complain. The only one who’s gonna suffer is you. 😎

How could they enforce such a thing? Just incorporate in another country and put the money there. Accept payment for micro transactions in Bitcoin. It’s not like they could take a foreign company to court; you just have to pick the right country that doesn’t honor such things.

Sure. You can download it and uninstall Unity whenever you want. Took me literally five minutes. The only thing stopping you is you.

And then we just go back around to the “too bad, we don’t have a choice” argument. We don’t have a choice. The fact that it’s hard or inconvenient to make one doesn’t change the fact that we have to. Stop being lazy and focus on making or improving a free open-source engine so you can make games. Priorities first. You can’t make a game without a suitable engine so you don’t have a choice regardless of any other consideration or circumstance.

Life is not always easy or convenient. Often, it’s the opposite. And you have to deal with that.

Except it doesn’t matter. No matter how hard of a pursuit it is, it is one you have to do because you don’t have any other choice at this point. You can’t let corporations dominate humanity because building meaningful alternatives is “too hard”. People are the ones who build those engines in the first place and if that means you have to bust ass learning comp sci to do it yourself or contribute to an effort doing it, you still have to do it.

Nothing in life is easy. Do the research, learn the skillsets and material you need, and do it. No matter how hard or expensive it is, now you have to put in the work and the money.

It’s either that or serfdom. Your choice. I won’t lose any sleep if you refuse to though – I’ll just use Godot, add to it when I need and move on from you myself. It’s up to you whether you’re gonna do the same and save yourself.

Well, now that it is open-source, we ought to take advantage of it, fork it and mod it up to our specifications. Or just make our own from scratch.

You don’t have a choice if you don’t want corporations to continue holding your dick in a vice. Bitch all you want; those are your options and sometimes in life you have to grow up and make hard choices that require a lot of effort, grit, determination, knowledge and courage to better your life and the lives of those around you. You want change? You better put in the elbow grease to make it happen. The only one who’s going to suffer if you don’t is you.

That is a hard lesson my generation refused to learn, and we suffer endlessly because of it. Don’t be like us in that aspect, please.

Edit: also, I’m not a milennial. I’m a zoomer.

The mindset I was addressing largely afflicts us millennials and isn’t targeted toward you. I’m not talking only to you through these comments but also to anybody else reading them, just to clarify.

Then it’s time for us to put our heads together and make it so. Godot’s open source.

It’s not that it’s hard (although it definitely is), it’s literally just infeasible financially and time wise.

And yet somehow Godot exists.

Somehow, they managed to build a viable 2D and 3D open source engine without a massive AAA studio so clearly your assumptions are just wrong.

You just don’t like being told you have to take responsibility for a problem someone else caused, and to that, I don’t blame you. It’s not right that we have to go through any of this. But honestly, it’s time for us millennials to realize that putting in the elbow grease to build alternatives to what others have done to us isn’t doing that, it’s us building the infrastructure to allow us to move on from the powers that be, and if you want to break away from them, you have to. Your abusers will not liberate you for you.

It’s time to nut up and do it now.

🤔 So what’s stopping people from simply making games under the free license and selling them anyway without paying Unity ridiculous taxes and fees?

Also now would be a great time to just use Godot and be done with it.
