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

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.
The whole concept of “charity” is political… all charities are “political groups”, no charity would be valid based on that judgement.
As a transgender person and as just a citizen of the world in general, I hate the “politicizing” of things. The validity of my personhood and whether I deserve basic human rights isn’t political. And yet, transgender rights are questioned and removed in the regions where “politicizing” factions have roots, and “transgender porn” is searched far more there too. Hypocrisy in action, but their entire philosophy is about burying their heads in the sand, so of course their own hypocrisy evades their notice.
Neither is Planned Parenthood’s mission to give people options for family planning political. Anyone who disagrees with Planned Parenthood can choose not to use their services, but as has been proven time and time again, the places where Planned Parenthood is needed most of all is in the places which try to ban it so vehemently. They don’t care about the women who die in back-alley abortions, and they don’t care that proper sex education can actually prevent abortions because talking about sex makes them squeamish. They yell and scream “murderer” to the doctors who are actively trying to help them and save their lives because they can’t see past the indoctrination.
The people rabid to “politicize” things they disagree with are the biggest of hypocrites and I’m so tired of seeing companies capitulating to these blinded idiots over “political issues” that have no business being labelled “political”. I’m a person, I deserve the same human rights as anyone else, and women deserve the right to choose what happens to their bodies. It’s obvious and self evident to anyone who isn’t burying their head in the sand, or still trying to dictate the lives of others based on ancient fairy tales.
How do they keep making the situation worse?
They hired the right dude for that job.
