Unity 昨天在社交媒體上引起了遊戲開發者的強烈反彈，因為它宣布將開始在每次有人下 載基於 Unity 遊戲引擎製作的遊戲時向開發者收取小額費用。 Even though Unity has already walked back some aspects of the Unity Runtime Fee, the controversial policy is still scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2024. This is causing many developers to contemplate the future of their games — including both titles built on Unity that are already released and games currently in development with Unity's game engine. 儘管 Unity 已經收回了 Unity Runtime 費用的某些方面，但這項有爭議的政策仍將於 2024 年 1 月 1 日生效。這讓許多開發者開始考慮自己遊戲的未來--包括基於 Unity 開 發的已發布遊戲和使用 Unity 遊戲引擎正在開發的遊戲。 So, what does this all mean for you, the player? Right now, it's all up in the air. Some developers are seriously considering de-listing their games from online shops when the Unity Runtime Fee kicks off at the start of next year, meaning some titles built on Unity could end up being temporarily — or permanently — unavailable. Here's what developers are saying about the Unity Runtime Fee on social media, and what games could be impacted. 那麼，這一切對玩家來說意味著什麼呢？現在，一切都懸而未決。一些開發者正在認真考 慮在明年初 Unity 運行時間費開始徵收時，將他們的遊戲從在線商店中除名，這意味著 一些基於 Unity 開發的遊戲可能會暫時或永久無法上市。以下是開發者在社交媒體上對 Unity 運行時費用的看法，以及哪些遊戲可能受到影響。 Among Us I bet Steam, Epic, Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft will love having waves of developers pulling their games. Innersloth has always paid Unity appropriately for licenses and services we use. I'm not a discourse guy, but this is undue and *will* force my hand. https://t.co/zLC9a8lBED — Forest (@forte_bass) September 12, 2023 https://twitter.com/forte_bass/status/1701663974373429699 Among Us developer Innersloth has been very outspoken about the Unity fee. Speaking to IGN, Innersloth programmer Forest Willard confirmed that "pulling Among Us for a while" is on the table while the developer figures out what's next. 《Among Us》的開發商 Innersloth 一直對 Unity 的收費問題直言不諱。 Innersloth 程序員 Forest Willard 在接受 IGN 採訪時證實，"暫時撤出《Among Us》"是開發商在 考慮下一步計劃時的表態。 "We're lucky to have the resources that we could swap engines and I see no reason to pay Unity for nothing while we do it," Willard said. "I'm really hoping they'll just walk it back, but they should honestly be afraid of how much trust they're burning with whatever this maneuver is." "威拉德說："我們很幸運，擁有可以交換引擎的資源，我認為沒有理由在交換引擎時白白 向 Unity 付出代價。 "威拉德說："我真的希望他們能收回成命，但說實話，他們應該害 怕這種做法會灼傷多少人的信任。 Cult of the Lamb 進擊羔羊傳說 Buy Cult of the Lamb now, cause we're deleting it on Jan 1st. https://t.co/nSWg9DP0sh — Cult of the Lamb (@cultofthelamb) September 12, 2023 https://twitter.com/cultofthelamb/status/1701715971663425897 “Buy Cult of the Lamb now, cause we're deleting it on Jan 1st,” reads a post from the Cult of the Lamb X (formerly Twitter) account. "現在就購買《進擊羔羊傳說》，因為我們將在 1 月 1 日刪除它，"《進擊羔羊傳說》X （原 Twitter）賬戶上的帖子寫道。 Developer Massive Monster followed with a post of its own, asking Unity to "Stop the Stink". 開發商 Massive Monster 也跟帖要求 Unity "停止惡臭"。 Stop the stink @unity pic.twitter.com/ijme9wQ89m — Massive Monster (@MassiveMonster) September 13, 2023 https://twitter.com/MassiveMonster/status/1701808567140102633 Devolver Digital Titles Definitely include what engine you’re using in game pitches. 一定要在遊戲宣傳中說明您使用的引擎。 It’s important information! 這是很重要的信息！ — Devolver Digital (@devolverdigital) September 12, 2023 https://twitter.com/devolverdigital/status/1701685282129539485 Beloved publisher Devolver Digital called out Unity in a post of its own, writing, "Definitely include what engine you’re using in game pitches. It’s important information!" 備受喜愛的發行商 Devolver Digital 在自己的一篇文章中抨擊了 Unity，並寫道："一 定要在遊戲宣傳中說明你使用的是什麼引擎。這是很重要的信息！" Devolver Digital has published games like Hotline Miami, The Talos Principal, Loop Hero, and Fall Guys (before it was acquired by Epic), and its upcoming slate includes The Plucky Squire, Pepper Grinder, and more. Devolver Digital 曾發行過《火線邁阿密》、《塔羅斯的法則》、《Loop Hero》和《糖 豆人》（在被Epic 收購之前）等遊戲，即將發行的遊戲包括《勇敢小騎士》、《電鑽少 女》等。 Citizen Sleeper 1 + 2 I’m midway through making a game that will be hitting game pass day one that cannot be made in any other engine so I’ve got to give it to unity I am well set up for some holding-me-hostage type shenanigans — Gareth Damian Martin | Jump Over the Age (@JumpOvertheAge) September 12, 2023 https://twitter.com/JumpOvertheAge/status/1701702926618743054 Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is the follow-up to last year's indie hit, and game designer Gareth Damian Martin spoke about the Unity fee, writing, "What unity are proposing is going to actively erode the vibrancy, range and sustainability of indie games. Less interesting games, less risk, less sustainable studios. If anyone cares about this ecosystem you should be dead set against this absurd cash-grab." 《Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector》是去年獨立遊戲大作《Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector》的續作，遊戲設計師加雷思-達米安-馬丁（Gareth Damian Martin） 在談到Unity 的收費時寫道："Unity 提出的建議將積極削弱獨立遊戲的活力、範圍和可 持續性。更少有趣的遊戲，更少風險，更少可持續發展的工作室。如果有人關心這個生態 系統，你就應該堅決反對這種荒謬的搶錢行為。" Human Fall Flat 1 + 2 人類：一敗塗地 We expect better @unity pic.twitter.com/dZocyeoUyL — No Brakes Games (@NoBrakesGames) September 13, 2023 https://twitter.com/NoBrakesGames/status/1701915593262170136 Human Fall Flat developer No Brakes Games posted a statement about the Unity announcement, saying, "We seriously question whether we can trust Unity moving forward, and whether we can continue to use this game engine." 《人類：一敗塗地》的開發商 No Brakes Games 就 Unity 的聲明發表聲明說："我們嚴 重懷疑我們是否可以信任 Unity，是否可以繼續使用這個遊戲引擎"。 Another Crab's Treasure SIGH pic.twitter.com/YgJEKGVQEI — AGGRO CRAB (@AggroCrabGames) September 12, 2023 https://twitter.com/AggroCrabGames/status/1701691036832309260 "Guess who has a somewhat highly anticipated game coming to Xbox Game Pass in 2024? That's right, it's us and a lot of other developers," writes Aggro Crab, developer of Another Crab's Treasure. "That means Another Crab's Treasure will be free to install for the 25 million Game Pass subscribers… This decision puts us and countless other studios in a position where we might not be able to justify using Unity for our future titles." "猜猜誰有一款備受期待的遊戲將於 2024 年登陸 Xbox Game Pass？沒錯，就是我們和其 他許多開發商。"《Another Crab's Treasure》開發商 Aggro Crab 寫道。 "這意味著《 Another Crab's Treasure》將免費提供給2500 萬Game Pass 用戶安裝......這一決定讓 我們和無數其他工作室陷入困境，我們可能無法為我們未來的作品使用Unity 提供正當理 由。" At the time of Aggro Crab's post, Unity hadn't yet said that the cost for Game Pass downloads would be passed on to Microsoft. Still, it's unclear how platform holders will react to the additional cost, or how it could impact deals with games built in Unity moving forward. IGN understands multiple publishers and developers of unannounced Unity games are scrambling to prevent their deals from collapsing following the news, with first-parties concerned about absorbing increased costs. 在 Aggro Crab 發表文章時，Unity 尚未表示 Game Pass 下載的成本將轉嫁給微軟。不 過，目前還不清楚平台持有者對額外費用的反應，也不清楚這將如何影響使用 Unity 構 建遊戲的交易。據 IGN 了解，消息傳出後，多個未公佈的 Unity 遊戲的發行商和開發商 都在爭先恐後地防止他們的交易破裂，而第一方則擔心要承擔增加的成本。 Mega Crit's Unannounced Slay the Spire Follow-up @unity pic.twitter.com/mBCfb8li3z — Mega Crit (@MegaCrit) September 13, 2023 https://twitter.com/MegaCrit/status/1702077576209207611 Mega Crit, the studio behind the immensely popular Slay the Spire, is working on a new game. The studio's unannounced project is currently being developed using Unity, but Mega Crit is now seriously considering moving to a new engine, calling the new runtime fees "harmful in a myriad of ways to developers." 大受歡迎的《Slay the Spire》背後的工作室 Mega Crit 正在開發一款新遊戲。該工作 室尚未公佈的項目目前正在使用 Unity 開發，但 Mega Crit 現在正在認真考慮轉用新引 擎，並稱新的運行時費用 "對開發者有無數害處"。 "Despite the immense amount of time and effort our team has already poured into development on our new title, we will be migrating to a new engine unless the changes are completely reverted and [terms of service] protections are put in place," Mega Crit wrote in a statement on X. "Mega Crit 在X 上發表的一份聲明中寫道："儘管我們的團隊已經為新作的開發投入了大 量的時間和精力，但我們將遷移到一個新的引擎，除非這些更改被完全恢復，並且[服務 條款]保護措施到位。 The studio added, "We have never made a public statement before. That is how badly you f*cked up." 工作室還說："我們以前從未發表過公開聲明。這就是你們搞砸的程度"。 More Indie Developers Speak Out 更多獨立開發者大聲疾呼 More solo developers making games in Unity are speaking out about the fee as well, with some devs even saying, "Anyway please wishlist it. but never install". 更多使用 Unity 製作遊戲的獨立開發者也對這一收費發表了看法，一些開發者甚至說：" 無論如何，請把它放在願望清單中，但千萬不要安裝"。 This is Hauntii, my game about ghosts. And yes, it's made in Unity. I'm upset about their sh*t decisions because it's a great engine and I've spent 10+ years developing this skillset. Anyway please wishlist it. but never installhttps://t.co/CQskScp5ul pic.twitter.com/X2ja7iGIJS — Leo- making Hauntii (@realZigzagLeo) September 13, 2023 https://twitter.com/realZigzagLeo/status/1701963909106676091 Other developers are weighing the finances of delaying a game and porting it to an entirely different engine rather than shipping it on Unity. 其他開發者正在權衡推遲遊戲、將其移植到完全不同的引擎而不是在 Unity 上發布的經 濟效益。 At this point, it might be cheaper for me to delay the game, port it completely to another engine than it would be for me to ship on Unity... ... — @matttwood (@matttwood) September 12, 2023 https://twitter.com/matttwood/status/1701717208077107599 And, one indie dev said their game will only ship with 199,999 copies available to avoid crossing into Unity Runtime Fee territory. 此外，一位獨立開發者表示，他們的遊戲將只提供 199,999 份拷貝，以避免進入 Unity Runtime 收費領域。 My game will only be released as a Limited Edition where it's only 199.999 copies available.

Genshin Impact 原神 o. Honkai Star Rail 崩壞：星穹鐵道 o. Hollow Knight: Silksong 空洞騎士：絲綢之歌 o. Marvel Snap 漫威瞬戰超能 o. Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl 寶可夢 晶燦鑽石／明亮珍珠 o. Pokémon GO 寶可夢 GO o. Fall Guys 糖豆人 o. Cuphead 茶杯頭 o. Outer Wilds 星際拓荒 o. Tunic There are clearly a lot of heavy hitters in there, like the Hoyoverse money-makers, huge mobile games like Pokémon Go and Marvel Snap, and beloved indies like Cuphead. And these are just a few games developed using Unity. (Niantic declined to comment on the new fee). 其中顯然不乏重磅遊戲，如《米哈遊網絡》這樣的賺錢遊戲、《寶可夢GO》和《漫威瞬戰 超能》這樣的大型手機遊戲，以及《茶杯頭》這樣的深受喜愛的獨立遊戲。而這些僅僅是 使用 Unity 開發的幾款遊戲。 (Niantic 拒絕對新收費發表評論）。 One title in that list that probably turned a lot of heads is Hollow Knight: Silksong, which some fans are worried could get delayed even longer to remake the game on an engine that's not Unity. There's no official word on how Silksong will be impacted, but it is something to think about. 在這份名單中，《空洞騎士》（Hollow Knight）可能是最讓人頭疼的一款遊戲：一些粉 絲擔心，為了在非Unity 引擎上重製這款遊戲，《空洞騎士：絲綢之歌》可能會推遲更長 時間。目前還沒有官方消息稱《Silksong》會受到怎樣的影響，但這是值得思考的問題。 We need to let the Silksong team know we are 100% ok with a few more years delay for them to port the game away from Unity. — Lance McDonald (@manfightdragon) September 13, 2023 https://twitter.com/manfightdragon/status/1701855703751905670 For more, check out our original story on the backlash to Unity's announcement. 欲了解更多信息，請查看我們關於 Unity 宣布後的反響的原始報導。 5.完整新聞連結 (或短網址): https://yourls.kl-wang-nas.synology.me/dm0vy3g 6.備註: 媽啊，這篇也太長... -- #1Z8ki_yY Re: [討論] 二次元ACG文化真的拖累世界經濟成長嗎? #1Z9qlfWZ Re: [閒聊] 你們有難以理解的世界觀嗎？ #1ZQDtwl4 Re: [問題] 為什麼以伊斯蘭教為背景的動漫作品這麼少 #1aD_SHbl Re: [閒聊] 為什麼少子化的對策是政府管制結婚？ #1Z8o--hn [來自深淵] 新時代的小黑價值貨幣支付 #1ajDAmTW Re: [問題] 為啥不少異世界作品都喜歡搞經濟？ -- 還好吧 @.@
