i'm sure you know this already but:
COTL ISN’T DELETING THEIR GAME.
1) in terms profit they'd pretty much shoot themselves in the foot with that decision, and as protest it's not very effective to make unity listen.
2) if they were, there would've been a much bigger announcement than a twitter tweet.
3) they confirmed they're not in both the discord and the twitter. after the deletion tweet went viral. which...ok.
4) it's probably a scare tactic to take advantage of the unity news to get more people to buy their game.
5) it probably worked.
so many people are focused on the unity issue that i don't think it's often talked about how much of a shitty pr stunt that was by the social media manager. people are fearmongering, sure, but the initial seeds were planted by that twitter post that really should've gone through some extra foresight.
hope they enjoy their extra revenue.
#can you tell i don't like the twitter much lmao#while i agree that unity is evil i'm tired of seeing posts like that on my dash at this point.#if anyone wants to discuss with me on the logistics of it i'm interested#it's a curious case study of prioritizing short term profit over long term stability#and these predatory capitalist practices have happened before unity is just the biggest offender rn#waiting to see which lawsuits pop up#anyways cotl almost got me to buy the game and i'm majorly pissed
