How viable would it be if a streaming service started charging the producers/directors a fee for every play?

Time for trade war commerce raiding.
wtf is a chud
Leftist equivalent of the word "chud"
basically a normal person with friends, family, job, etc
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chud
A chud is someone who believes libs lie on wikipedia
Why would libs lie?
>using chud outside of Cinemaphile
c-c-c-cringe!
I never realised how gay it sounded until I saw a video of a kid call another kid a chud
It amazes me that there are this many people who thought that movie was a documentary and there are literal sewer mutants running around.
>business tries to garden gnome you
>cry about chuds instead
This, politics aside it's a terrible business practice that the devs should resolve with an immediate boycott of the platform, it's not like there aren't other game distributors.
Unity isn't a distributor, it's an engine. Your game is very tightly coupled to it and switching engines is only going to be possible for games in early development.
it's not like steam where you can just find other ways to sell

Stupidest idea ever and OP is a fag.

here garden gnome go
keep the gayner news on v please.
Isn't that what they already do just to studios instead of producers, maybe it depends on the show
why don't they just start their own studio and streaming service and pay everyone fairly?
maybe im retarded but like isn't that the exact opposite, they'd get paid regardless if download.
This is absolutely retarded if true
Does unity want to go bankrupt?
Their EA-bred CEO already sold his stock and vacated his chair.
They don't care.
Please, my dick can only get so hard, I won't be able to take it if the video game industry also starts a strike that will doom its existence in the long run
>decide I don't like game
>company doesn't want to refund me
>install their game 500 million times on a virtual machine using a script
>they get billed 100 million dollars from unity
How long before this happens? They'd almost certainly just disregard installs from my account, but it's a fun thought experiment
>no matter if that install is attached to a sale
This implies piracy installs being counted. Why is why it's probably fake, how the fuck would they even track that.
>This implies piracy installs being counted
No it doesnt anon, it implies they count unique installations instead of unique sales, so they'll be billed multiple times if customers uninstall and reinstall or install on different pc's.
Piracy sales are untracable, but steam, GOG, epic store and so on all count installs.
>they'll be billed multiple times if customers uninstall and reinstall or install on different pc's.
Ok, that makes sense. Missed that implication.
>Piracy sales are untracable
>Piracy sales
Think you missed a little thing here too
>piracy installs
don't be obtuse anon
I'm not, it's just a funny mistake. Have a nice day frendo.
Take this with a bit of salt but I heard they partnered with some malware dev to in fact be able to trace pirated installs.
Not everybody who pirates is all that smart about it, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was a certain amount of "calls home" going, without any malware being necessary.
its the chuuuuuuds
