polly Posted September 14, 2023 Posted September 14, 2023 ERM hi guys its me polly pollygussie! i know theres many people playing rain world / idk if people play niche or not but heres some important stuff i learned about it like an hour ago!!! unity (the game engine niche, the wandering village, rain world, hollow knight etc was made with) has a new policy that costs the developer a small fee everytime a player installs a game made with unity https://www.ign.com/articles/why-unitys-new-install-fees-are-spurring-massive-backlash-among-game-developers as you can see this can be Very Bad for indie devs and will cause many to have to delist their games off of platforms like steam!!! :3 i dont know how to end this other than i am filled with Unending Rage right now. 6
