The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe: Ultra Deluxe

What a shame that they spent all that time porting the game to Unity just for Unity to be Unity. With the current Unity situation going on, maybe the game devs can put the New Content into the Source version of the game?

Hi there, where can I read more about this "Unity situation"?

I don't remember where I first read about it, but I did a quick google for 'unity drama' now, and found this. Never heard of that site myself, so maybe others have other sources:

But in a nutshell, Unity was / is going to charge a fee for every install of games / software that uses the engine, and at first they said they were also going to do this retroactively, that is for every game that had already been sold over the years.

This would mean that game developers and publishers and such would have to pay a good chunk of money for games they had already sold in the past, leaving many indie developers and such in financial trouble / bankruptcy and such.


Here is where I first read about it (subscribing to their newsmail):
