    Sorry, I thought it was obvious I was sarcastic about their “mistake”. They want to be seen as the victims like they didn’t know in advance the outcome of their decisions. Backing down on the changes only to show something “less worst” is only a way to make the pill easier to swallow. Unity cannot be trusted anymore.

    How to be a company in 2023

    1. Make a controversial move to please your shareholders without caring about your loyal customers.
    2. Don’t use a proper PR team, just use the same apology template on Twitter that everyone is using.
    3. People are angry… Could anyone seen that coming? 🙈
    4. Undo some changes without addressing the root problem.
    5. ???
    6. Profit (if by profit, you mean loose every inch of respect people had about you)

    Rinse & repeat, because we’re all humans and we can’t learn from our mistakes. Surely, this won’t happen again… right?

    Good analogy. The battle shouldn’t be about forcing abandonware to be opensource. We should focus on DRM, it makes games almost impossible to play when servers shut down.

    OP should have compared it to other medias such as movies. When you buy a box copy, you expect it to work long after the authors/studios/etc. are gone.

    The issue is about the lack of legal ways to play older games as time moves on. It will only grow bigger in the next few years with even more games relying on DRM and online servers.
