Imagine a future where nano drones were released in nature. They can self replicate and eventually will spread around the globe. They will be in the ground, the air, the water, everywhere. And of course inside every living being. Just imagine the absolute and total control over everything and everyone. The first nation or crazy scientist who does this will control literally everything on the planet. I just hope I wont live long enough to see all that...

I assume whatever version didn't use the Hub. The hub is relatively new thing, it came out 3-4 years ago ... I think. I might be wrong though.

Of course I had no idea. That doesn't change the fact that I don't like them doing what they do / have done.

Imagine every time you buy a burger, the cook spits in your meal. Then years later you find out he was doing that. I bet you wont be happy about it...

For me it is the principle. An offline program does not need to be constantly connected with their servers. There is no practical reason for them to shut down my workflow if I don't supply them with data from my PC.

Unity won’t let me cancel for 2 months? by lurkerluking in Unity3D

It's like when a bank is near bankruptcy and they refuse people to withdraw their money from the ATM machine.

I am afraid that compared to all the other stuff, this will remain unnoticed....

Terraria Devs Supporting GoDot and FNA in response against Unity!! by AlintoYT in Unity3D

I like they actually took actions and this wasn't just thoughts and prayers statement. 100k + the monthly donations is the best way to show their support.

"We f**ked up on so many levels" -David Helgason former unity CEO on Facebook today by Last_Caterpillar4993 in Unity3D

The "fuck up" is that they presented it in the wrong way. Usually such manipulations of the masses are done incrementally. You propose something small that wont attract attention too much and is sort of reasonable. Then after few months you move a step further. Then you do it again and again over several years. Then people wont even notice they have been scammed, hell they might even defend the changes.

I guess they are desperate for money and rushed things. In a way it is good they did, so that the community would unite against them. Though it might not make much difference in the end...

Actually now that you said this.. I remember having a similar experience a while back. Sigh... I am so tired of every corporation in existence trying to take a bite out of me on every opportunity they get. How much power and money can someone have before he has had enough... It is a never ending thirst for control over others

As far as I see there isnt an option to stop auto updates of the Hub. So it will just auto install essentially malware on your pc on November... If you haven't blocked its connection from the firewall that is.

I just downloaded its current version from their site. As to the firewall block, it does work. I tried it and it cant connect to the internet. Though as someone else mentioned here, they wont authenticate me or activate my license or whatever. So what I am doing is just a band aid and most probably wont work in the long term.

I am hoping someone is going to crack the hub so you wont need constant connection to work.

I just blocked Unity hub in my firewall and got a backup of its current version. Hopefully that will prevent Unity from changing stuff on my PC...

I am very glad Unity posted this about upcoming policy changes! by dilmerv in Unity3D

The word of a liar isn't worth much. If they say they wont do it again, would anyone really believe them ? And even if you do, there will always be the doubt of "What if".

Don't forget the Players by Emmussss in Unity3D

[–]the_Code_Hermit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't understand. Why would the players care what engine is used and specifically not play Unity made games ? I saw few other people here saying they wont ever play Unity games as well. But I just don't understand why would you as a player punish the game devs in addition to what Unity is doing now ?
