Nope, but I sometimes feel that the Steam client uses more resources than the games 🤨

So all the effort and money they spent in developing their games, before knowing about this movement from Unity, should be punished?
I understand your intentions, but indie devs don’t have the capacity to switch engines, let alone redevelop everything when it’s already or almost finished. I’d understand if you do it at the start of 2024.
Also, this is speculation, but I’ve seen devs provide alternatives to get their games. A lot of developers have already declared their intentions to switch engines from now on and they can’t do that if they don’t have a budget.
I think that the main problem is that companies keep getting revenue even if actors don’t. Book writers don’t stop earning money just because they wrote their book 5 years ago, and yes, they don’t win money for reselling, but companies like Amazon and their editorials will keep earning money because of their work, so why shouldn’t the writers earn money?
If your work isnt being streamed or sold, well, you won’t see much. But still, you signed a contract, like the old perpetual pensions.
In México it’s kind of weird. We certainly have competition, but there are major leaders like: Telmex, izzi, Megacable and Totalplay. They are mostly mediocre, but they’ll try to outpace their competition every time they can. There are jobs just for advertisement where people move from sector to sector leaving pamphlets and trying to convince you to change your service. The problem is that they usually buy competitors to improve their infrastructure. For example, izzi bought part of Axtel, which to me was the best service provider in Nuevo León, so we moved to Totalplay the next month after the acquisition.
They always have offers and will offer you ‘better’ packages to convince you, sometimes matching the same price just so they gain a new customer (commissions are also an incentive for workers). Recently the government announced a new service provided by our federal energy commission (CFE) which aims to provide free internet in rural and public places and paid mobile data plans. More competition is always welcomed.
Gotta say that our Federal Telecommunications Office sometimes does its job and protects you against bad-faith movements like ISPs blocking you from moving and/or using other methods that are not approved, but no public services have a clean record. Still, at least here I’m seeing some progress.
I mean, Ubisoft basically has every resource needed for this, but I’d like to see a DLC or gamemode where you can play like in GR:Breakpoint and the mobility of Watch Dogs in The Division. It’s absurd not being able to climb certain obstacles, but that’s also an engine problem.
I also would like more storytelling in-game, having to listen to audios and ECHOs, while entertaining, it’s not enough and can confuse you.
You can’t prevent it without regulations. Companies won’t care while gaining money from it unless they’re obligated to, and even then, some won’t comply either.
BTW, that mentality of “other countries vs mine” is absurd. War crimes shouldn’t be committed by a country just because the other commits them;
others bad ≠ I good
.LLMs can’t and should NOT replace a human, at least not yet (they’re not even that good either). If we can’t have guaranteed basic needs such as housing, food and healthcare or a BUI, then they should not keep leaving people without jobs because no one will be able to afford anything.
