background: they wanted to charge game devs 20 cents per install, with a "trust us" policy regarding pirated installs. reinstalls would have counted as installs and web games made with Unity will count installs for every play (every reload effectively)
their stock dropped expectedly after this and it was revealed that the CEO sold a bunch of stock the week before he made this announcement (which is pretty sus)
you should also see the CEO's comments calling game devs who don't monetize with in-app purchases "f---ing idiots" and the recent merger between Unity and a known malware company 
there was a big backlash from game devs across the internet, petitions from large game dev groups, and developers of games such as Cult of the Lamb and Among Us have mentioned privating their games on Steam to get around paying the extortionate fees
now that they’ve also backtracked on their comments and removed the changes, but to bring back customers who don’t trust them anymore, they’ve removed the splash screen requirement for free engine users, which has long been criticized.
i just think it’s a really interesting topic with a lot of sides (especially because so many high-profile games/developers have gotten involved and Unity has since tried to smooth over their relationship with game devs, for many of whom trust has been broken and who have decided to move on to FOSS engines.
in the long run, i think this whole saga will prove to have been catastrophic to their company and the relationship
the title of the episode could be "Engines and [Whatever the other topic is]" or something
You’ll never guess what we talked about in the episode we recorded yesterday… (Thanks for the episode name suggestion)
Also would it be possible to feature my music on a possible music segment??? Just wondering, but if not, that’s fine too
Heya, so TNC Live doesn’t have a schedule, rather we just do one when we feel like it. We’ll post about it on this account when the next one is coming up! In regards to your second question, we are happy for you to come on and talk about your music and promote it if you wish!
Next weekend is when we will be recording the next episode! We’re on a bi-weekly schedule.
i fell asleep last night listening to tnc on my google hub. what does this mean
Our voices are just so relaxing we can aid people in falling asleep 
Just wonderuing: usually when does the podcast start and how long is it?
Not sure what you mean exactly for your first question, do you mean when do we usually start recording? For the second question, episodes range from 45 mins to and an hour and a half. Recording usually takes at least 1 hour.
Ah, OK! So we have 4 common recording slots that we can all attend and usually work for most guests too depending on where they are and their schedules. The first two are on Saturday at 10am CST and 4pm CST. Our second batch of possible slots is on Sunday at those same times. However, we can try and accommodate for other times if needed, we just haven’t had to yet as those slots usually work for most people.
hot
wrote this omw to hospital after getting thrown off a horse lol lmao I don’t feel alive such a silly goose lmfao I love this podcast 🩷
Ambition, I like it! What would you wanna talk about if were to be on the podcast?
it would be a troll episode where the intro plays, you introduce me, i say hello and then its completely silent for the next hour. Sprinkling some coughs and sneezes in there.
