Original Title: UNITY, consent is key and you don’t have ours.

Transcript:

We made Orgynizer as a sex-positive fun romp while supporting women’s reproductive rights in the US, something that has been seriously threatened recently.

Sadly, out of the blue, the engine that we built the game with decided that they want to charge us 0.12-0.20 USD for each game install. If this goes through, it would cost us around 30% of all the funds we have gathered and already sent to charity.

We are based in the EU, and our legal aid have assured us that this is a very unlawful decision, especially due to its retro-active elements.

It was stated that Charity games would be spared, so we asked Unity to get a confirmation that we would not be affected, but they believe our targets (Planned Parenthood and C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital.) would NOT counts as “valid charities” and more “political groups”…
I speak on behalf of all of us when I say: GET F*CKED!

They have altered the deal, and they could alter it even further.

We did this to raise money for a good cause, not to line the coffers of greedy scumbags.

We have been solid Unity fan boys for over 10 years, but the trust is scattered all over the floor.

You also claim that you can guarantee that you can detect pirated copies and you won’t charge for that… If that was true, and you need money, SELL THAT! Do you have tech that can 100% detect piracy? If that was true, you would not need our monthly fee, you could fix one of the biggest gaming industry problems overnight! But the truth is you don’t, isn’t it? Feel free to convince us otherwise.
We are looking into changing engine, Godot is looking good, but we will have to recode our entire game, because we refuse to give you a dime.

This is a mafia-style shakedown, nothing more, nothing less.

You wanna f*ck us, but we are not bending over.

    When you look at who the Unity board of Directors is friends with (Musk), this makes a lot more sense.

    The EU is about to take their pound of flesh for this.
