Godot Engine hits over 50K euros per month in funding (www.gamingonlinux.com)

One of the big winners of the Unity debacle is the free and open source Godot Engine, which has seen its funding soar to a much more impressive level as Unity basically gave them free advertising. Certainly helps that Godot ended up launching their new funding platform on the same day Unity announced their hated Runtime Fee...

Korkki,

At least something good came out of this debacle.

Korkki,

Most cases bad city design isn’t even caused by bad design, but lack of design, or the influence of political goals interfering in the process and making it shit, or planners having to design around antiquated or otherwise non functional parts of the city and making the outcome less than ideal in the process. if one gave a decent human city planner free reign to do whatever they wished with a blank slate new city they would do good job .

Korkki,

It’s a design tool, an algorithm. Not midjourney making the blueprints for your neighborhood. Relax,

Korkki,

You want that madman to put shit in your brain?

I can appreciate the basic research at least, if they achieve anything new, even if it doesn’t work, then scientists know not to repeat it next time. If the achieve something that is not new but works and brings the cost down then that’s great too.

Korkki,

Somebody with quadriplegia, for example. It’s in the article. For somebody with no autonomy the risk, even a large one can be worth it.

Korkki,

Well if human body is a machine made out of a chemical soup and that requires those parts working together in harmony, then of all possible states those parts can be most are logically non ideal.

Korkki,

He just does the “all publicity is good publicity” trick. He isn’t so stupid to actually do it.

Korkki,

Die Fabre is cool, I guess. It’s a 2010 film adaptation of color out of space.

Korkki,

Annihilation fits within the criteria, but it’s not really a “small”, indie or less known movie.

Korkki,

Russian bias doesn’t exist

Korkki,

Holy shit! I knew people got pissed, but this…🤣

Despite it’s illegality. it’s a type of protest. Better that being pissed off in twitter and the still cucking to unity in the end, but worse that just stopping using unity and porting existing games off the engine. Still, not everybody can still just do that, this is why something like this is understandable. Imagine being a indie dev team years in development with mounting costs and backers expecting a product and you expecting return for your work and then unity turns ups the leeching and fucking up your calculations and forcing you either to delay the launch, pay the financial cost of that delay, port to a different engine and learn a new skillset for that engine or bite the bullet and pay. Also Imagine the unity devs who will be out of a job because of this.

Korkki,

Yeah, this is basically why I’m not buying these arguments against a struggle of any kind, just because methods of it are illegal.

Illegality =/= your cause or methods are wrong

Korkki,

If you want to to change something then yes. A empty performance that the target can ignorance is worse than doing nothing, because then you falsely think “you at least did something”. ESPECIALLY so if all other methods are exhausted or unavailable to you and situation is a a great importance to you.

Illegality of methods does not make the cause unjust, since many unjust things in this world are completely legal and will get you imprisoned or killed if you oppose them. The most extreme example of illegality vs injustice was that in 1940s Europe it was highly illegal to protect jews from being hunted down and killed.

Korkki,

I’m not saying I would be justified yo make death threats about this, since as you say this doesn’t really concern me personally and I have not made any. I’m just saying that people who get hurt by this have the full moral right to do this if they go down that path.

Also I’m really not buying this “Even greedy leechlike corporate suits still have the right to feel safe when doing decisions that will fuck over countless of of live and make society all the worse for it” line of argument that you are pushing between the lines. Violence is not just when somebody bleeds, you know and this is just response one one kind of violence with other type of violence. And this is not just a provider charging for a product. Many people get hurt by this and years of their lives might go to waste. And for what? Corporate greed, it’s not like unity is fucking struggling themselves and they need the cashflow. What they needed was bigger margins.

Korkki,

Ooh, think of the Unity’s corporate suits. You monster. they are people too. Think of their sleepless nights over this. They might have to go to therapy…

You really just base you sense of justice on legality. You really would just watch as landlords increase rents for 200% just for greed and watch people go homeless and then feel smugly superior when you condemn and report said homeless for throwing shit in the windows of the landlords. A Tennant might even have the chance to move elsewhere. Unity devs might not have such a easy path out.

You really are a awful person without a heart. Call me a psycopath all you like.

Korkki,

And you can’t see that violence is not just when somebody bleeds. Also you really can’t imagine that anything that isn’t legal is a justified action to a wrongdoing.

just wondering, what is your opinion of Palestine struggle against Israeli encroachment and occupation of their lands? 😜

Korkki,

If you are comparing a third party library changing its monetization model

If you starting point is “it’s just money lol”, then beside your general screwed sense of justice this is another major problem in you thinking. Many people have made it blatantly clear that this is not just some price increase that devs can just wave away. It can cause cost of millions to devs at worse and that’s bad if you have a tight and fixed budget and you are years in development. It’s also a breach trust that will make nobody want to use unity ever again and that’s bad when people have sometimes invested their lives in it. That’s bad for Unity too yes, but it’s bigger that just one company. I have already told you this and why I sympathise with the devs.

Korkki,

Palkintovirka odottaa hyvintehdystä työstä isäntiensä hyväksi. Ei ole korruptiota kun palkinto maksetaan nyt vasta jälkikäteen ja vielä palkkatulona käsienheiluttelijapestissä.

Korkki,

The world basically lives in a monotechonlogy bubble. What you have others will have and what others have you will have and production can be eventually set up to almost everywhere when provided the capital and labor. Blocking anything or isolating anybody has become an impossibility and any move of blocking anything has no other effect other than introducing speed bumps or creating an alternative ecosystem of the same technology. US seems to live in this world of a last cold war when it was still possible to limit things and compete with having the better tech and forcing others to come to you to have access to it, but that world died when the iron curtain came down. Now it is never coming back up even if US tries to impose it around itself and Europe and other honorary western countries and even if it did US couldn’t compete with its university STEM departments filled with Chinese and production outsourced to Asia.
