I wonder why Godot and Unreal are getting so much interest todaynothingcorporate@lemmy.today to Games@sh.itjust.works – 748 points – 10 months ago104Post a CommentPreviewYou are viewing a single commentView all commentsShow the parent commentDoesn't steam let you download games you purchased that have since been removed? Will they try to bill developers still in this case?Yeah. You theoretically can financially DDOS a developer.Curious if they would charge once install was completed or once install commences. If I try to install a game and for whatever reason it fails, and I have to try again, would they charge for two installs?Probally an api call that goes out to Unity once you start a game and the engine comes online. Im sure they would love to charge devs the instant we click a download link though.An API call that could be faked. Easily. Imagine a bot network that screws over a developer because of fake installer API calls.Imagine that bot only targets games developed in house and fucks the assholes back.Who knew software development involved so much anal sex?
