The reason Unity developers treat their customers in such a rude manner as if they are sheep is because Unity is now a big company and with new management etc
They don’t really have a choice but to treat customers like
Anybody here excited for COD 15 and FIFA 15? with a 10/10 IGN rating? even though its the exact same game from 7 years ago with a new map?
Unity has become the very same thing, EPIC however has decided to put the community at heart and accept the fact that 5% is better than 0% because in the end the community would reward them. EPIC won because they put the lowest and poorest first.
It annoys me when I read their forums and I see Unity employee staff commenting on threads, saying that 5% isn’t free and that if you do the math and you sell a billion dollars then 5% is MILLIONS OF MILLIONS of dollars you have to pay EPIC. When you could have simply paid $1500 to Unity and that would be that.
Yeah sure I am going to earn $1 Billion USD and my biggest concern is going to be about 5% to EPIC the company that was almost entirely responsible for me earning that 1 billion USD. Let us completely ignore the fact that I do not even have $1500 upfront to begin with.
Right… I won’t be buying an Island in the Bahamas and living the rest of my days on a hammock on the beach? I am going to be worrying that 5% that I owe epic? the company that I actually owe my success to?
