Everyone can agree on VLC being the best video player, right? Game developers can agree on it too, since it is a great utility for playing multimedia in games, and/or have a video player included. However, disaster struck; Unity has now banned VLC from the Unity Store, seemingly due to it being under the LGPL license which is a "Violation of section 5.10.4 of the Provider agreement." This is a contridiction however. According to Martin Finkel in the linked article, "Unity itself, both the Editor and the runtime (which means your shipped game) is already using LGPL dependencies! Unity is built on libraries such as Lame, libiconv, libwebsockets and websockify.js (at least)." Unity is swiftly coming to it's demise.

Heh McDonald's and survive. You sound like a real family man, or are mommy and daddy still paying your bills?
Further more, you project like theres no tomorrow. Your circumstances may be fine to stop the world and port. Honestly most aren't.
Ok I'll stop joking.
Will our next project be in unity? Probably not but maybe. What makes that decision? The cost of paying salaries to start over from scratch. We have a working unity framework, it has working plugins, hooks analytics, ads and sales for a ton of different companies. Some of those ads are iron source, now we'll pay marketing to find and negotiate a new vendor. We actually ran the numbers. The new costs they were demanding were a shit sandwich, but they were still less than the cost of moving.
You also have Godot's lack of console support, which doesn't affect me (at the moment) but does affect a lot of other people.
Nah, I'm just the abuse survivor who traveled across the country to escape and worked at McDonald's to escape the subsequent homelessness I found myself in once I reached the other side of the continental U.S. The one who knows what I'm taking about because I had to start my life over from scratch to not be murdered while your lazy, cowardly ass is whining about anything, anything being expected of you. That's who the fuck I am.
Now stop your pathetic whining and actually put forth effort into something other than making excuses for yourself. If you invested a fifth of a third of a quarter of the energy you dumped into arguing with me onto porting your games, you'd have been done by now.
The responsibility for change lies solely on you, and if you refuse to sacrifice for positive change, the situation is solely your fault. The only one you have to blame is yourself.
That's awfully funny cuz you sound like more like a bully. You sound like somebody that needs to boss everybody else around. You sound like somebody that doesn't give a crap about anyone else or their situation. I think you're a liar and probably a narcissist. And that said we don't have anything else to talk about here as soon as I see you've read this message I'm going to block you
You sound like a bully when you presume to ad-hom someone who actually overcame impossible odds because you don't want to admit I'm right and that you're actually going to have to save yourself since you'll never get the validation and rescue from your community that you want.
You are 100% at fault for your own suffering because you won't take responsibility and act to save yourself, and you have no one to blame for your plight but yourself. It's as simple as that.
I already know what you're going to do though; you're just going to keep whining, feeling sorry for yourself and playing victim while Unity apathetically locks you out of your life's work and hides it behind a paywall, and the only one who's going to suffer from that is you. 🤷
