Reading these posts everyday continues to concern me.. When you back a project like this, you never think the engine developer or a middleware developer will be it's undoing.
I just don't see how this gets resolved the way the statements have been coming out of both sides.
@kralith said in Unity has blocked SpatialOS - What's up and what it means for us:
But it is true, that their Cloudplatform is in Alpha right now:

That's concerning.. Interesting how it took a few days for this to get dug up. The initial press pass missed this as well. This competing platform paints things in a whole different light.

It is looking less and less like this will have anything to do with Fractured. Looks more like in fighting and posturing with another developer. It should all be over soon.
See something new? I agree with the posturing.. but I'm not seeing the other stuff you mentioned.
@specter That's very concerning, I sure hope it doesn't come to that.
After following this all day.. it really reads of greed. I mean, I get it..Unity wants a piece of whatever Improbable license.. and they're likely entitled to something. I'm just not sure how Improbable expected this to play out? Now you're got Epic involved.. trying to take sides. Ugh.
Welcome and happyn ew year to you too!
Things change, but the devs have provided enough thoughtful commentary for me to believe they have good intentions. I'll fully against p2w but I do support pay for convenience. Time is the most valuable asset we have in this life.
I really like the idea of the NPC vendors being paid a wage.. I just hope that whatever the implementation there is an API that allows us to pull data and compare without manually walking to each stall. If not, we just need some sort of information in game.. Where to find what type of items or something.
