The creator and provider of the Unity multi-platform engine and development tools, Unity Technologies, today made their basic mobile tools absolutely free, further empowering small studios and indie developers. Developers among the community can now publish their games and apps straight to iOS and Android in the ‘build menu’, and soon across the Blackberry and Windows Phone 8 too.
Unity Technologies says it will charge Microsoft, Sony, Apple, and Netflix for Unity Engine games included in their subscription services.
Ultimately this will all get absorbed by the price we pay as consumers in subscription fees.
Sucks for everyone but Unity.
What's to stop these companies from barring games developed in Unity to their platforms? If I were them, I would do it in a heartbeat.
Subscription prices were always going to go up. Just like all other subscriptions in history of subscriptions.
Unity Technologies is laying off 284 people, the company confirmed today. This is the second round of layoffs for Unity in less than a year.
Game developers will be able to publish their games across multiple stores in a more efficient way through a single hub. Uptodown will increase the visibility of video games in countries where it is highly influential such as Brazil, Mexico, the Middle East, Indonesia, Russia, and India, among others.
This is epic.
