Do they charge extra once they get enough death threats?

But no, seriously. This is literally never okay. Come on, capital G Gamers.

Well yeah, that's what you're supposed to do.

Ever open your inbox? Dozens of death threats. They never mean anything

I would imagine they get sued to oblivion anyways.

Like say Microsoft is billed for all the installs of some game. Microsoft would say "hahaha" and not pay.
Then sue them.

Even 1% of that tally (read: toxic unwell sorts) is still a substantial number of goons. Even if most of those aren't capable of anything

It's not. Unity is making it so developers and publishers are charged for each install, which can put thousands of indie devs out of business.

But that still doesn't justify death threats.

Unity's latest proposal is genuinely one of the most stupid, money grabbing and ridiculous business moves I can think of in gaming, and they deserve all the scorn and verbal backlash they've had in the last few days.

But threatening to straight up kill them is very clearly waaay over the line.

Curious if its actually anything credible, or if its just pure nonsense and theyre just using that as an excuse. Death threats are never OK, but theres definitely different levels of response when it comes to Internet culture.

They probably got some threat or threats but are stretching the definition of credible. Most likely more of a "better safe than sorry"

I mean, depends on what the inbox is for. Even working low level customer service I've received death threats, and that's with over the phone work.

Hot take here, this is probably something that is not divided on political lines. Pretty sure everyone was pissed.

Probably, which is why I question his bizarre decision to try to make it a partisan matter.

The San Fransisco police got back to one of the reporters asking for details and it turns out the death threat came from one of Unity's own employees, who apparently posted something violently angry on social media directed at his employers. I guess there would be no one more upset about this than the guys about to lose their jobs because the CEO is doing his best to run the company into the ground.

You know earlier I had typed up a joke about this but never posted it because just seemed like it was in bad taste and then it turns out it actually fucking happened.
