Buy Unity3d pro For $99

<Spanish(?) accent>
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
</Spanish(?) accent>

 

Unity: No, no. We have already succeeded. I mean, what are the three terrors of of a price drop ? One, the forum flames spurt. No problem. There's a popping sound preceding each, we can avoid that. Two, the whiners, but you were clever enough to discover what that looks like, so in the future we can avoid that too.

Hippo: what about the P.D.O.U.S's?

Unity: Price Drops Of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist.

 

Indie Developer: Hello. My name is Indie Developer. You won't lower your pricing. I won't buy.

(Again with building emphasis.)
Indie Developer: Hello. My name is Indie Developer. You won't lower your pricing. I won't buy.

Unity: Stop saying that!

 

Haha

 

These aren't the prices you're looking for...

 

i think this is turning into the jokes thread

 

FAIL! Eric the Super Mod beat you to it...

 

Don't worry Hippo, you find out later that Unity Solo User really did have Unity Sales best interest at heart, and he swoops in and saves the day at the last minute.

Unfortunately, Unity Solo User was originally developing with Java and GLUT, and has a lot of source code to download and convert from Carbonite backup.

You get to save him from that tedium though, now that you're a Unity Knight.

 

let me see your price tags.

you don't need to see his price tags.

we don't need to see his price tags.

these aren't the prices your looking for.

these aren't the prices were looking for.

he can go about his business.

you can go about your business.

move along.

move along, move along.

 

i can't abide those barterers, disgusting creatures.

 

If you only knew the power of the Troll Side

 

Unity: "Indie Developer, I am your father"

...

Indie Developer: "Does that mean I get a discount?"

 

dream dream dream ...

 

It's the thread that made the Kessel run in less than 12 posts

 

You know im not such a bad programer myself, we dont have to listen to this

I can pay you 99 dollars now, and 15 when we get project done

 

lol

 

you know that actually is impossible, the vessel run is something like 18 parsecs, so what Han said in the movie is false

 

15? man, Chewie, this guy must be desperate

 

Echo: JM JM, you've got Unity, but you don't have me. You were going to out program me, JM. You're going to have to come down here. You're going to have to come down here!

JM: I've done far worse than out program you, Echo. I've hurt you. And I wish to go on hurting you. I shall leave you as you left me, as you left Shiva3d; marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead pixel... buried alive! Buried alive...!

echo: JAYEMMMMMMMMMMM JAYEMMMMMMMMMMM

 

though i don't know what thats from...

 

To the last, I type with thee; From Hell's heart, I troll at thee; For hate's sake, I spit my last post at thee.

 

Star trek 2 wrath of khaan

 

ah, not a big star trek fan

 

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

 

and what of the trolls? if the trollbellion have contained a complete technical readout of this fortress, it is possible, how ever unlikely, that they might find a weakness, and exploit it.

the plans of the EchoLogin Fortress you refer to will soon be back in our hands.

any attack on this fortress by the trolls will be a useless gesture, no matter what data they have obtained!!! this fortress is the ultimate power on this forum!! i suggest we use it!!

don't be silly, the power to lower prices is nothing compared to the power of unity!!

 

What exactly are the demands?

We're giving the sales people two days to dismantle their entire pricing structure of the Unity Technologies Corporate State and if they don't agree immediately we start more whining threads on the forums.

Start more polls?

Start all sorts of threads, start 'em up every hour on the hour... show sales we're not to be trifled with.

Also, we're demanding a ten foot mahogany statue of HiggyB with his *REDACTED* hanging out.

What? They'll never agree to that.

That's just a bargaining counter. And of course, we point out that they bear full responsibility when we pirate their software, and... that we shall not submit to blackmail.

No blackmail!

They've bled us white. They've taken every dollar we had not just from us, from other independent developers and from other independent developers' developers.

And from other independent developers' developers' developers.

Yes.

And from other independent independent developers' developers' independent developers' developers.

All right. Don't labour the point. And what have they ever given us in return?

Cross-platform scripting...

Oh yeah, yeah, they gave us that. yeah. That's true.

And shaders!

Oh yes, shaders! You remember what the graphics used to be like before shaders.

All right, I'll grant you that cross-platform scripting and shaders are two things that Unity Technologies have done...

And the environment editor...

Well yes, obviously the environment editor... the environment editor goes without saying. But apart from cross-platform scripting, shaders and the environment editor...

Easy asset importing...

Physics...

Substances...

Shadows and terrain rendering with trees...

Yes... All right, fair enough...

And the Beast lightmapping...

Oh yes! True!

Yeah. That's something we'd really miss if Unity Technologies left.

Masked Forum Member at Back: Cross-platform publishing!

And it's safe to publish on multiple platforms now, including Facebook.

Yes, they certainly know how to keep order (general nodding from assembled members) let's face it, they're the only ones who could with a software ecosystem like that.

(more general murmurs of agreement)

All right... all right... but apart from better cross-platform publishing and Beast lightmapping and shadows and terrain rendering with trees and substances and physics and easier asset importing and the environment editor and shaders and cross-platform scripting and the ability to publish on multiple platforms safely... what have Unity Technologies ever done for us?

Brought peace to the forums!

What!? Oh... peace, yes... shut up!

 

Master. Is the Pro version stronger?

NO! no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.

*edit*
Hey, that's pretty much everything I was looking for in a game engine (and a relationship as it turns out). Can I get that for $99?

 

How far can it go before we accidentally create a meme?

 

The force is with you, young Tiles, but you are not a Unity Pro user yet.

(yeah, I know I'm late to the party, but even Sith lords need some sleep every now and then )

 

Do Jedis get Force-Heimlich to counter Force-Choke?

 

Darthvader:
Ok, enough minions.. *inhales*
haven't you noticed.. the debate has ended several thread pages ago *inhales*... because you, have taken over with completely offtopic comments. *inhales* (and again have derailed a (for apparently many) serious topic)
please, stop joking around and keep ontopic, or else... *inhales*

Minions:
Ok, sorry sir, we will try to stay ontopic from now on.

 

You should see a Doctor about that asthma.

 

Seems moderators are shutting down other threads.
Continuing from the Unity for Free thread :

We are not disagreeing with each other. Unity is still the best in term of licensing with the fixed price licensing term. Unless you are a large team (100 men) with very tiny profit - the percentage Crytek/Epic take will then be much smaller, but it is still your loss because you have to split that profit with your team (100 men!).

Basically, if we still use above scenario - instead of 3 men team we now have 100 men. So:

Unity: $120,000 - 30% Steam cut - $1,500 x 100 upfront Unity Pro licenses = - $66,000 (in debt!)

UDK: $120,000 - 30% Steam cut - 25% Epic royalty above $50,000 revenue ($84,000 - $50,000)x25% - $99 Epic upfront cost = $75,401 total revenue (but you now have to split between 100 employees which works out to be $754 per person!)

Crytek:$120,000 - 30% Steam cut - 20% that goes to Crytek = $67,200 total revenue (again, now you have to split that profit among 100 employees which works out to be $672 per person)

That's the real downside and risk of using Unity's licensing term which is when you don't make a profit (or profit below the Unity Pro Licensing cost of $1500 per seat). In that case, its all loss regardless of which engine you use because the time you spent to monetizing your business is a loss anyway.

 

Is there a site licensing option? If so the numbers are probably off but I still see your point.
