Oh man, you’ve got me itching to get into the intricacies of JavaScript…

One fun example of the difference: when doing arithmetic operations, null is indeed converted to 0, but undefined is converted to NaN. This has to do with null being an assigned value that represents empty, whereas undefined is not actually a value but a response indicating that there was no value assigned in the first place.

This whole thing is absurd and overcomplicated - they could have just copied Unreal and slightly undercut them.

It isn’t too complicated, but for example, a game which made $2 million in gross revenue would owe Epic Games $50,000, because it would pay 5 percent of $1 million, keeping the first million entirely—minus whatever other fees are owed, such as Steam’s cut.

There should also absolutely have been a grandfather clause for games already released.

I get Unity needs to make money. They’ve never been profitable. But they’ve seriously overcomplicated the whole thing and gotten people angry at them.

At my old job we had a system of first initial + last name, or if that was already taken then the first two characters of first name + last name, etc. A ticket came into us from an Lo[…] Li who had some concerns about being loli@bignamecompany.com. We obviously gave him an alias.
