Collective letter to unity from game development companies

[brucethemoose2]

These all seem to be mobile devs.

And I see a lot of Connect 4, Farmville Idle type games on their websites with lots of suspicious marketing and premium features. Homa Games even has a rather blatant Donut County clone.

...I get it, mobile devs gotta develop for the market, and maybe I'm missing some of their gems. But when they say things like:

> ...we’ve invested years in shaping an industry that touches the lives of millions worldwide...

> ...it has inspired us to create new immersive worlds...

It feels a bit disingenuous, like they are trying to come of as struggling indie masterpiece devs. I would feel much more sympathetic if I saw, say, Mobius Digital in there.

Unity does this too, and it bothers me even more.

the only solution that will really help is to open source the engine and be a support company like red hat . but i doubt it they should work on godot engine as its open source non reversible license

> We are the collective voice of the game development industry—developers, game designers, artists, and business minds.

What gives you the right to claim that you speak for me?

I laught when I read the names, Voodoo and Homa game are "movie bad guys level" souless hightly predatory game publishers (don't know the others). It's a PR stunt.
