hello there
i have just read an article in gamasutra here:
that says unity indie will become free once unity 2.6 arrives :shock:
can anyone confirm this ???
if thats true, thats good and bad at the same time.
good because everybody will be able to put hands on unity without any cost involved 8)
bad because i spent 200 dollars in a free software :roll: hahahahaha
however it was worth it… but still you get that strange feeling in your guts 
hahahaha
Interesting and his answer makes since. I can only see it broadening use.
I do wonder if they’ll add more features to the Pro line, now.
As long as our Indie costs still count towards Pro if I ever upgrade, I have no complaints. Prices change. I paid $200 to work on my project for a year – sound investment.
UT gets kind of slow with its news. First the 5.5M investment now that …
HEYO HIGGYB WHATS GOING ON? Is your computer sleepy or in a different room-time continuum? 
I think for many its good news and I say that as a Pro + iPhone Advanced + Asset Server owner (the later is a $500 investment that might go into hot air with 2.6 and SVN / Proforce).
The interesting thing to me as T3D Pro owner too will be the conquence on T3D Artist Edition that was planned to happen at $500 …
Oh man!!! this is so cool!!!
I think garagegames will not like it. This will make the Unity Web Player much more popular.
if this is true it’d make sense as to why there’s been such a delay on my third license request 
As if the webplayer ever was a topic in relation to torque as torque has no webplayer capabilities at all (when put in relation to Unity or Flash).
Torque has a “per game webdeployment” technology that still requires any user to install a distinct plugin for each Torque game.
This would be really annoying for those of us who have just purchased indie though.
Even if they offer a cheap upgrade to pro - I wouldn’t be able to afford it 
Heres another link : Unity is free - MCV/DEVELOP
I know that. We can list here what it means:
1- garagegames lost users
2- web player gets popular, so, we will see some Unity games on sites like armor games.
3- garagegames lost more users
4- Google buys Unity.
=)
You could look at it that way - or you could look at it as though you’re buying pizza for UT being so awesome… :lol:
@Tim : no reason to wish ill-will on another product. Having GG be strong keeps Unity strong. Also I’m fine with not having Google run all my technologies.
It was just a joke, sorry
I think they should give us purchased Indie users VCS support (assuming it’s currently exclusive to Pro)
This will cut down on 99.9% of my rants/complaints on this forum!
Ugh, as far as the speculation goes:
The guys are GarageGames are good people, be nice to them. If TorqueScript was more like C++ or C# and their iTGB at that time ran better, I would still be using their products. Even if their products were complete rubbish, that would not take from them being genuinely decent human beings.
No worries. Just a little touchy on the nets when it comes to company/product/ cheerleading/bashing.
Guess I have to go eat lunch and hopefully get some more official news when return!
Probably the idea…
See it as a $199 investment into Unity Pro upgrade and months of more experience than others
Its not like the Asset Server licensees are likely to going the “real losers” with the appearance of versioning in Unity Pro unless the asset server got some fair overhaul and finally Windows support too.
That is great for new users but I kinda hope that UT would still give the old customers some goodies as well.
But that’s how the world usually goes, old customer aren’t as valued as new ones
Aw man! It is good news, but I just bought indie last week!
Well me as well bought Unity not much long ago, i’m sure Unity will give some sorta benefit to those purchasers, though I won’t ever be buying anything in the shop because its too far beyond what I want.
I wouldn’t expect money back though
