They were changing their pricing model. It doesnt matter if its a flat cost or per download cost or tierd pricing on a range.
No matter what, unity is getting paid when usage reaches a limit, it was never entirely free at scale.
Customers were ALWAYS paying for unity one way or another, it wasn’t anything new.
Thanks, that’s a really cool site! Echoing the other comment about no YouTube, and also I thought it was hilarious that Spotify was the first option.
Is it a rick roll?
Sounds like malware to me?
That is insane lol.
We’ve sold you the rights to include the music in your game.
We have not sold you the rights to sell your game to anyone!
I dunno about that given what another person replied with about threatening someone from singing in a store.

Unity never tried that? They wanted to charge the developer using Unity. It was stupid, but they pay for unity one way or another.
The only way I can see this being different is steam shows preview videos of the game which have music.
Amazon often only shows the box it sells in and pictures.
Its still stupid because the game developer has the rights and that page is their place.
The article was saying the spool would give them 32gb of ram, hence the multi strand thought. Were going to want hundreds of gb to run a decent model.
DOGE was part of the data gathering scheme for things like this.
So we’ll soon have houses built with a place to hold a spool of 200km multi fiber cable (which shouldn’t be too big, Ukrainian drones carry 40km worth of single strand but this couldbe 10 or 20 strand) and we can plug our computers into it.
Have it take over the computers camera, take a picture of them, use AI to remove their clothes, do a Nelson HaHa pointing at the camera pic, then brick the computer.
I wonder how that would go if you explicitly tell them what it is and they did it anyway. Hiding its purpose might cause issues, but telling them and being ignored must be different?
Ive been around the internet since early dial up days, and while I haven’t used every social platform that appeared, Facebook was the one where I saw everyone was really just posting their projected self, the world is amazing fake lives. I dont think it necessarily started immediately like that, but it quickly became that. Its the first place I saw it anyway.
It yelled at you for interrupting it too!
That’s a little different.
Items that can expire get marked down at some point during the day, but they aren’t changing the normal price of the item. If there’s 20 packs of chicken breasts on the shelf, 5 or 6 might get the sticker.
There’s no guarantee that the one you have would have even gotten a sticker, and if you’re savvy enough, you might have intentionally chosen the pack with the earliest most recent packed on date, or gone late enough to be after the mark down time near the end of the day (at least where I am)
They aren’t just going up and marking down the main price on everything, and its also always down, never up.
Haggling might be fine but they have to honor price tags.
If I’m in a grocery store and I see $1.00 they can’t change it and try to charge me $1.10, and when I object and say it was $1.00 it shows $1.10 now.
Should be against the law to change the price after the shop opens at something like a grocery store. Nobody should be able to shop anywhere where the price you pick it up at can change by the time you get to the checkout.
Edit: Maybe there could be some exception for mid day price changes if you emptied the entire store of customers first, but enforcing something like that seems difficult.
You could plug the bluetti into wall power and while there is wall power it runs off that like a UPS.
That setup I believe would also use solar while it was producing, but the moment solar was gone it’d switch to the house power.
If the overall load is more than house power can give via an outlet (you could add a beefier outlet if the bluetti supports higher inputs) it’d start draining the battery.
I dont know if bluettis software says use solar / battery only until battery is 10% kinda thing so this might not be optimized to use solar properly.
Edit: just realized someone else was the one who mentioned bluetti, and not OP, but this is doable with other systems too.
