They vowed that African-Americans will "never" be allowed to join the campus chapter, and they stayed true to that vow by getting the chapter closed down.
Not that for a second I condone such attittudes, just saying that from a purely literalist standpoint, they certainly weren't lying.
Honestly, if it weren't *THAT* much higher than any of the other feature requests, I might even buy that as plausible.... but when it has more votes than the next six most popularly voted for issues combined??? With that kind of gap, it is almost certain that they are getting more direct requests for that feature than they are for any other feature as well.
I mean it's POSSIBLE that the feature requests forum is entirely orthogonal to any unbiased random sampling of unity users, but there's no particular reason to suppose that were true. Given that their entire comment itself which said that they cared about democracy actually only tied it in with the notion of keeping costs down to increase the number of people that could utilize it, I am inclined to think that the folks at Unity Technologies just don't actually know what the word "democracy" means.
Some would argue that they have the added benefit of not requiring you to actually be in any way sociable with those around you.
You and several others have been pointing this out to me... so it appears that some things have changed. I will have to check it out in more detail later.
Looks like trying to do any team development, even for a very tiny team of two or three people might still not be possible, however.... it looks like the personal edition might still be a headache for sharing of assets even between just two people.
"Deep in Unity's culture is the principle of Democracy. "
I laughed out loud when I read that.
In the feature requests feedback forum, making the editor available for Linux is vastly more popular than any other feature request for Unity,. beating out the next most popular by about a factor of 4, and Unity Technologies has publicly stated that they have absolutely no plans on ever porting their editor tools to Linux.
If that's the business decision they are comfortable with, that's one thing, but considering that in the article where they are bragging about how they are promoting democracy by tying it in with how the product was being priced, rather than what people have actually said that they want, I'm pretty sure that I can safely conclude the developers at Unity do not have the foggiest idea what the word "democracy" actually means.
...There are no royalty payments associated with it either. It costs money for the professional tier but the engine has the same feature set.
No, the personal edition does not have the same feature set.
Also, how well would the date changing for a lot of people in the middle of their day work?
Then you have the low end shovelware crap being made with the likes of Unity 3D. Although their days are numbered now they got greedy and chose to screw over devs.
Really? What have they done?
Suggest you just sit there and wait till life gets easier.
