We have heard you. We apologize for the confusion and angst the runtime fee policy we announced on Tuesday caused. We are listening, talking to our team members, community, customers, and partners, and will be making changes to the policy. We will share an update in a couple of days. Thank you for your honest and critical feedback.
Shitty apology, it’s too late.
It is a place holder.
“We’ll look into it and really search our souls “ — then in a year when everyone has moved on, we’ll just continue to change nothing, screwing Devs… thank you.
I mean, there’s really nothing to make changes about. The policy just needs to go. Anything less than that is a half-measure that won’t be accepted.
“We have hit the required amount of outrage about the fake thing, time to dial it back to the actual shitty thing we wanted to do.”
This is a common tactic.
“You will have to eat shit”
“Wtf, no”
“Ok, I hear you. You will only have to drink piss”
“Oh thank god”
Bear Grylls: “Drink piss? This is actually quite fine.”
This just feels like the Wizards of the Coasts OGL debacle all over again.
That’s because it is literally the same thing.
Since it is also what the largest companies are doing, expect this trend to be a permanent fixture in the future.
As someone who is doing a course in games design using Unity, this change has made me actually start learning Godot and Unreal. I will need to completely relearn everything I’ve been taught so far. But hey, lets me try out different engines I guess

Don’t panic, but you might be a robot.
same here - bikes, traffic lights and busses galore
Take me back, baby! It was a moment of weakness!
What’s with all the “we hear you” statements in company posts lately? Seems like a trend in customer management to say that phrase now. :) Not that they mean it.
