Imagine any other industry having the gall to ask to exempt themselves from copyright laws. It's either create difficulties for speculative tech companies or kill the creative industries that reliably contribute 5% (£126 billion) of the UK economy.

Spent a little time playing around with a stylised fire effect from @simonschreibt.bsky.social talk after hearing the news about Tequila works.

This Unity pricing plan is so poorly thought through. Remember when unity produced these end of year reports for installs? create.unity.com/2021-game-repo…

It looks like someone just saw the 5Bill installs a month statistic and thought well if we charge 20c then we can make 1Bill a month
