The same way any company that has a contract dependent on the other side's revenue (or the tax services for that matter) does it. If you use Unity you have to report your revenue, and if you are caught lying their lawyers are going to shred you to pieces in court.

It only kicks in after you make a certain revenue with the game (200k USD for Unity Personal and 1Million USD for Unity Pro). So if revenue is 0, it will never kick in.

At very least it transfers all the risks of economical downturns or even operational fuck ups to the workers.

Garbage disposable units.

Except most people running their services on AWS are not using just the EC2 instances. I would even go as far as saying no one in their sane mind uses AWS just for EC2, at which point you are probably tied to the services you use. If Amazon goes full Unity, and you are lucky it's things that have alternative implementations like S3, if it's something like sagemaker you're fucked.

Boring is good on a device that you use for anything critical. Boring is also good to reduce e-waste.

Iterative innovation also has a higher probability of being a net positive than breaking changes.

That's a good thing, it's a sign that smartphones as a technology have matured.

If this is confirmed they will probably need to recall and replace a significant percentage of all the phones they sold ~~3 years ago.~~ in the last 3 years.

Edit: made comment more accurate.

If W4 doesn't enshitiffy it to push people to their proprietary fork (which is unfortunately required because Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft don't allow making their APIs public).

C# is technically faster, but according to one of the cassette beasts' co-directors, you can maximize productivity and performance by doing most stuff in gdscript and skipping directly to c++ for the bottlenecks.

At this point we should start tracking what wasn't leaked yet.
