i made Apple’s iPhone Game of the Year in 2018 (Donut County) using Unity, but according to their CEO i’m a ‘big fucking idiot’ for not making Hole io, the f2p game that ripped it off 🤡
Unity CEO John Riccitiello has said that if you’re not thinking about monetisation during your creative process, you’re a “fucking idiot.”

this is why some fans get upset about adding easy mode. the charm of the game is that you play against a designer who anticipates your moves, betrays your expectations, and bops you on the head. the rest is window dressing.
