"Unity User Group Dissolves Amidst Trust Erosion and New Fees"
The Boston Unity Group (BUG), a long-standing community of Unity developers, has announced its dissolution following Unity's controversial changes to its developer fees. BUG cited Unity's shift away from supporting developer communities and prioritizing profit as the reason for disbanding. Unity recently announced a new pricing model, called Runtime Fee, which would charge developers based on game installations and revenue thresholds. The decision sparked backlash from the game developer community, leading Unity to revise the plan. However, the loss of trust and dissatisfaction among developers remains evident, as seen in BUG's decision to shut down.
