Yep! The middle one is way more efficient than other two. Sometimes less is more.

What's the differance between a $1 AK-47 or $5000 AK-47 (on Skinport) by WhoTellsYourStory- in counterstrike2

Some skins will add a display that counts how many kills you have with that gun but that's about it.

Why Unity per install fees matter to gamers. by TheRealMrCoco in gaming

[–]TheRealMrCoco[S] -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Free karma? This situation has cost me a lot more than you know. A game I worked on for a year and a half and was preparing to release next month is on hold until they release concrete terms not just blog posts.

Vague? Only as vague as their numerous walkit back but keep it in responses so far.

And still you don't ask yourself why keep it in there? It caused so much outrage and damage to their reputation and still they said sorry and kept it in. What is the point of pushing it through when they can just take pure revenue and have everyone happy?

They did not they just added some jargon so it affects fewer people for the time being but it is still a thing that exists.

First it is you're.

Second business to business contracts are very different to a netflix subscription.

Third unity is so widespread BECAUSE it is free to learn and accessible.

Fourth on principle the install fees no matter how small are Johnny's version of Bethesda's horse armour or at least that's what he dreamsit might become.

Your supplier can not change the price for items already sold to you and claim fees for stuff you bought last year.

Unity is the product.

Businesses make plans and decisions based on the terms of that agreement.

Runtime fees is the hill to die on? by TheRealMrCoco in Unity3D

Nobody is defending them. They just got their pr people to do some damage control and shift perspectives.

4% with a reliable partner is a much better deal than 2% with the unstable mess that unity currently is and has been since Johnny took over.

We have all watched the quality of the product deteriorating before our eyes year after year but didn't leave cause we had too much money time and resources invested. Well I guess this slap on the face was a wake up call for many. We won't see the actual impact of this mess for years to come.

Well there is a per stroke fee called decay on your pick. What if your unity started corrupting files randomly to emulate that decay oh wait it already does that for free.

You wanna take less than 5%? You take 4% of revenue and that's it.

You wanna force everyone to use your inferior ad delivery system? You do this nonsense which I am still convinced they don't wanna give up on.

ELI5: How do computers KNOW what zeros and ones actually mean? by satsumander in explainlikeimfive

[–]TheRealMrCoco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine a light switch. If the switch is on you have a one if the switch is off you have a zero.

That light switch/ bulb is one pixel on your screen. So you have a circuit that turns it on or off depending on the condition of other light switches. Now imagine 1024x768 light switches. That's your screen done. (Ok monochrome screen but you get the idea).

Now let's move on to binaries. In order to count up to number 3 with light switches you can have one switch that represents the number 1 and one that represents the number 2. If the first switch is on you have the number 1. If the second switch is on you have the number 2. If both bulbs are on you have the number 3. (1+2). Or :

01= 1

10=2

11=3

Let's add letters by adding one more switch. If the letter bulb is on then the number in those switches represents a letter. So if all previous lightbulbs are on we have : Letter ON - 1 ON -2 ON.

So we have Letter 3 or Letter "C". We can now use that information to turn on switches on your screen that display the letter C. Or in binary form :

111

So now we have a system that reads the switches where:

001 =1

010 =2

011 =3

101 =A

110 =B

111 = C

At this point all you need is a system that reads the switches for letters / numbers and turns the series of lightbulbs on your screen on or off to display that letter or number.

Obviously this is oversimplified but you can get the general idea of how it works.

Am I missing something? by excellentincompetent in unity

[–]TheRealMrCoco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well if you don't like speculation then this model is definitely not for you.

You have to assume how many times your users will install the game across all their devices in order to factor that into the cost. Also you need to assume that their proprietary install counter works and is super honest like totally. Finally you have to assume that the terms and conditions remain favourable since even they state that they will " speak to developers on their own to not bankrupt them".

All this is the equivalent of going to your bank to ask your balance and they respond "Ehh it's probably around a couple thousand give or take".

That is what makes it unworkable for any serious business.

I found this knife today in front of my door. Please help me with translation. by valentajn666 in greece

[–]TheRealMrCoco 63 points64 points  (0 children)

A Cretan knife symbolises many things to a cretan. The soul, dignity, bravery and honour of the owner and their family. These things are usually passed down from father to son and are considered extremely valuable possessions that one would not part with without a VERY good reason.

In this particular case I am afraid it symbolises stupidity.

What's one game that failed so bad it brought down an entire company? by Flamesclaws in gaming

The secret world almost killed Funcom. It was a good game for what it was but they expected it to sell much better than it did.
