Trying to make a AAA game...

How do I set things up in Unity so I can withdraw funds directly from players bank accounts?

 

Not exactly the best first post ever written here...

 

Sounds like a good candidate for the Thieves Guild...

 

You don't. Don't do it... don't try it... don't even think about it. It's a security disaster waiting to happen and I'd never ever play such a game. If you need IAP, use an established platform.

 

You don't draw directly from their bank accounts. That's too obvious. The correct way to drain player bank accounts is to sell loot boxes that give random upgrades. Make most of the upgrades rather meaningless, but a small number of rare and must have upgrades will eventually drop if the player has sufficiently blown their chances of making rent for the rest of the year. Then largely ignore the player base when they complain.

Ship it!

 

Bizzare.

 

First... You're going to need a lot of microtransactions...

 

This is by far the best thread ever.

 

I think I get it now. He means a game with AAA credit rating.

 

More likely AAA games like the ones that (supposedly) dry up your bank account. Not all AAA games are like that.

 

Please sticky this thread...

 

When I combine this question with the subject of the thread, I am thoroughly convinced that you have already achieved the necessary attitude for AAA game production. Congratulations!

To be fair, you are probably going to be better suited to the publishing side of things, though. Developers are somewhat hamstrung by their limited access to banking systems. They may have the technical know-how to implement something along those lines, but they also tend to be plagued by morals, and might feel conflicted about blatantly breaking the law. This is why you need a marketing department. Those guys have already sold their souls, it's part of the marketing initiation ritual. (and I'm not being cute when I use the term "ritual") Once you have some marketers, you can start generating some design decisions based on siphoning money directly from every demographic as efficiently as possible.

 

I donno if it's funnier if this is a troll or serious. Either way it's an awesome thread.

 

You grant EA employees internet access during their lunch break and THIS is what happens....

 

Jokes asides, I'm guessing the OT is referring to bypassing the IAP of most stores in order to avoid the % they take. Or creating IAP for PC/Web.

I wouldn't buy anything directly from a game that asked me to add my account information, I have to really really trust the developers, and unless is a very stablished publisher, I wont.
However, you could set the game to redirect you to your website, and in there use any well stablished banking solution (e.g. paypal, etc) to collect the payment from the players. Then, in your game, just download the result of the transaction from your server.
That way, the user will trust that paypal is showing exactly what they are going to be charged, and that you can't get more money unless they re-authorize it. Legally, its just like setting an online store for selling your own products, and then using your game as the store front.

 

Is that you John Riccitiello?

 

Oh noes, you didn't.

Bet tomorrow you'll log onto unity only to get an invalid license prompt

 

Well that is how Unity works right? It just spits out a AAA game for you.

Sorry, had to find some way to include myself in this epic thread.

 

Start with AAA level budget, and you'll be able to hire some people who can answer that question for you.

 

You guys, feeding the trolls lol!

 

I'm pretty sure there must be a Unity's Service or Asset Store product somewhere for that.

 

Hi guys

How do I make a lye pit and trick security cameras?

Also where can I procure a firearm?

 

You're behind the times. Modern bank robbers use heavy-duty equipment from nearby construction sites.

 

Everyone knows you just fly to the United States and they are handed out as you depart the plane.

 

Guide to generating a sense of pride and accomplishment on mobile :
-Lock entire UI but the object you want the player to interact with
-Use hand illustration along with a moving motion to show the player what he has to interact with
-Grant the player 3 stars for interacting with the only unlocked part of the interface
-Piñata particles all over the place
-?????????????????????????
