¡Ni el rechazo al establishment podrá detenernos!¡Porque es lunes y SpreadShotNews Podcast ya llegó! En este episodio: Debido a #Atemporalidades, Nico no puede jugar demasiado Castlevania Advanced Collection y Maxi avanza poco en el Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key. En el Rapid-Fire, tenemos noticias sobre el avance de los ports a consola de juegos hechos en godot, Ubisoft promete cosas que habrá que ver si cumple, Microsoft es un negocio que tiene que crecer a costa de sus empleados, Unity deshace finalmente el desastre del Runtime Fee, Tony Hawk dice “se vienen cositas”, Steam Families esta disponible para todo el mundo, todo Annapurna Interactive se levanta y se va y Embracer no quiere soltar. Para el Hot Coffee, repasamos el anuncio de la PlayStation 5 Profesional, hablamos de Raymond Tracing un rato y seguimos bastante anonadados con toda la decisión, pero le buscamos un por qué (podria o no haberlo). Para finalizar, en el Special Move, Maxi nos recomienda el Sajam Slam 3: torneo de grupos influencers, vtubers y streamers que junto a un capitán/entrenador pelean por descubrir qué grupo es el mejor, en este caso en Street Fighter 6. Nico por su parte nos recomienda el canal de youtube WooKong y en particular el video de como se establece la industria moderna del anime de la mano de Osamu Tezuka . Por último, recuerden que nos pueden escribir preguntas directamente a través de google forms en el siguiente link: spreadshotnews.com/preguntas

Frisch zur Aufnahme kam doch tatsächlich die Kurskorrektur von Unity: Nutzer von Unity Personal bleiben von der sog. Runtime Fee komplett verschont, für Unity Pro und Enterprise gibt es alternativ nun doch die Möglichkeit von Revenue Share; alles deutlich besser als vorher, aber der Vertrauensverlust bleibt. Was gab es nicht an Leaks von Microsoft zu den Plänen für kommende Iterationen der Xbox, Refresh-Versionen, Nachfolger, Controller... ja, Leaks VON Microsoft selbst. In einer kleinen Nicht-Meldung zu einem Nachfolger zum Steam Deck hat Pierre-Loup Griffais von Valve erneut bestätigt, dass es noch lange dauern wird. Bis Ende 2025 oder sogar 2026. Und das ist auch ganz logisch, wenn man die Roadmap von AMD bedenkt. Wirklich neu ist die Vorschau zu SteamOS Version 3.5 mit Performance-Optimierungen, neuen Möglichkeiten zur Anpassung der Farbwiedergabe und HDR- und VRR-Unterstützung für externe Monitore. Eine Warnung zum Schluss: Es gehen Phishing-Mails mit Fake-Abmahnungen herum. Viel Spaß mit Folge 171!

James Batchelor and Brendan Sinclair dive into the backlash around Unity's proposed Runtime Fee. As the industry waits for the engine provider's revised plan to charge developers for every install of their game (past certain thresholds), we look at how Unity could have handled both the announcement and the need for more revenue in a different way. We also discuss the impact on developers and their trust in the tech firm, as well as the games industry's concerning reliance on two engine providers.

Unity, the game engine wizard behind masterpieces like Rust and Pokémon Go, has dropped a bombshell on the developer community. On September 12, Unity unveiled the Runtime Fee, sending shockwaves through the indie developer universe and sparking a myriad of questions. Starting January 1, 2024, Unity will impose a fee based on the number of game installations and its revenue. For Unity Personal and Unity Plus, the thresholds are set at $200,000 annual revenue and 200,000 installs. Meanwhile, games developed on Unity Pro and Unity Enterprise must garner $1 million and hit 1 million installs before the fees apply. The structure is as follows: Unity Personal and Plus: $0.20 per additional install. Unity Pro: $0.02 to $0.15 per additional install. Unity Enterprise: $0.01 to $0.125 per additional install. Developers were left scratching their heads, with many worried about potential financial implications, especially for free-to-play and charity games. Garry Newman of Rust fame voiced concerns, fearing a monthly payment of $200,000 to Unity. The crux of his worry? Trusting Unity's tracking and the audacity of the unilateral fee imposition. https://x.com/garrynewman/status/1701584142570336701?s=20 Indie developers find themselves in a bind. Many, midway into their game development journey, now fear the uncertainty Unity's decision has brought. The concern isn't just about the added costs but the intricacies of measuring installs, potential privacy concerns, and possible impositions of Digital Rights Management (DRM) to track installs. Brandon Sheffield, Creative Director at Necrosoft Games, minced no words in his disdain for Unity's decision, advising developers to steer clear of the platform. https://x.com/necrosofty/status/1701294283331084733?s=20 Unity has been on a roll with changes lately. The company is set to phase out Unity Plus subscriptions, and members will be shifted to its Pro subscription next month. While Unity's innovation in AI integration, like Unity Muse and Unity Sentis, has been lauded, the new Runtime Fee has left many developers wary. The announcement has, predictably, had financial implications for Unity. Their market shares plummeted soon after the revelation. Whether Unity stands firm on its decision or bends to developer feedback is yet to be seen. In a swift response to the negative backlash, Unity attempted to clear the air with an FAQ post. The definition of an “install” was clarified, as was the company's decision to charge for reinstalls. While Unity reassures charity games and bundles will remain unaffected, developers remain skeptical. The potential aftermath of this decision, including ‘revenue bombing' by antagonized user groups, is yet to fully unfold. Talks of a class-action lawsuit against Unity are already in the works, painting a grim picture for the game engine giant. What do you think about these changes and their potential impact on gaming?

Reported by IGN and Polygon, the game development engine revealed a new pricing structure dubbed the Unity Runtime Fee. Unity's original fee structure was to charge developers a flat fee every time a respective game is installed after reaching a certain threshold, as opposed to a rev-share model used by Unreal Engine. They have since walked back several points of the fee structure amid widespread complaints from the development community, particularly independent devs.The lowest tier, Unity Personal/Unity Plus, would require a $0.20 fee for every install after reaching $200k in revenue over the past 12 months and 200k life-to-date installs. Unity confirmed in an interview with Axios that deleting and reinstalling a title counts as a separate install.LINKSWebsite: https://8-bitadventures.comPatreon: https://patreon.com/8bitAdventuresMerch: https://8-bitadventures.com/shopJoin the Discord: https://discord.gg/FAPKjjQ“1-UP” is by Professor Shyguy.
