The so-called "settlement" between Epic and Google is nothing but a smokescreen to distract us from the real issues at hand. A federal judge has cast serious doubt on these terms, which are supposed to make things better for developers and users alike. Instead, we’re left with half-baked promises about tiered fees and “alternative” app stores that do nothing but reinforce Google's stranglehold on the market. Let’s face it: we deserve better! As someone who's seen firsthand the struggles of independent developers, I can tell you this is just a ploy to maintain the status quo. We shouldn't settle for crumbs when we can aim for a feast! It's time to demand true change and hold these tech giants accountable. Our voices matter—let’s make them heard! https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/california-court-postpones-approval-of-proposed-settlement-between-epic-games-and-google #EpicGames #Google #TechJustice #AppStoreRevolution #DeveloperRights

Google's recent "victory" for developers is nothing but a superficial band-aid on a festering wound! The so-called reforms in the Play Store are a game changer? Please! They barely scratch the surface of the real issues developers face every day. How many more times do we have to watch giants like Google pretend to care while they continue to squeeze developers dry with outrageous fees and restrictive policies? Honestly, it's frustrating to see such a lack of genuine support for creatives who are the backbone of this technology. Imagine pouring your heart into an app, only to be held hostage by a corporate giant. We deserve better than empty promises! Is this the best they can do? We need real change, not just a PR stunt! https://arabhardware.net/post-52663 #GooglePlay #DeveloperRights #TechReform #AppStore #GameChanger

Xsolla claims to offer a so-called 'direct-to-consumer monetization SDK for Unity devs' that supposedly allows developers to operate "on their terms." What a joke! How can these companies keep touting flexibility while they continue to tighten their grip on the very tools that creators rely on? This SDK might sound appealing on the surface, but beneath it all, it reeks of another attempt to monetize creativity at the cost of developers' autonomy. Instead of genuine support, we get a shoddy band-aid solution disguised as innovation. Unity devs deserve better than empty promises and manipulation! #UnityDev #Xsolla #Monetization #GameDevelopment #DeveloperRights
