Global Economic Crisis: IMF Warns of "Apocalyptic" Consequences if Governments Don’t Act
Date: March 10, 2023
Location: Washington D.C., USA
In a shocking and dire warning, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has cautioned that the global economy is on the brink of collapse, warning of "apocalyptic" consequences if governments fail to take immediate action to address the crisis.
According to the IMF, the current economic downturn is the worst since the 2008 financial crisis, with many countries experiencing severe declines in economic output, trade, and employment. The organization’s warning comes as a surge in inflation, coupled with supply chain disruptions and global uncertainty, has sent shockwaves through financial markets.
"We are facing an unprecedented economic crisis that requires swift and decisive action from governments around the world," said Kristalina Georgieva, IMF Managing Director. "If we don’t act quickly to address the root causes of this crisis, the consequences will be catastrophic. We risk plunging the global economy into a recession that will last for years, with devastating consequences for millions of people."
The IMF’s warning has sent shockwaves through financial markets, with stock prices plummeting and bond yields soaring. The organization’s warning comes as a number of major economies, including the United States, Europe, and Japan, are already showing signs of slowing growth and declining consumer confidence.

Ten year r/Unity2D moderator here. Through my years of helping to build the online community of Unity users, I've made a few contacts and connections inside the company.
Specifically, I have a friend that worked at Unity up until they quit very recently. Obviously, I can't give a specific time since it's probably information that can hurt his future employment, but… It sounds like they (the board and management) may be in the later stages of plans regarding re-creating the Runtime Install Fees, but under a new revenue scheme and a new name (specifically, probably a non-name). It really comes down to the likelihood that they haven't found a way to increase profits to the same level that the RIF would have pulled in, and they have shareholders that are probably more or less still expecting it, despite what happened.
It won't be a specific rate per-install as it was planned before the log hit the fan, but it sounded to be of the same degree of "blood letting" (profit per compiled project) that it was before.
I hope they don't continue. I hope someone decides against it. I don't know. But it sounds like the management still really wants that revenue. I wish they'd just give up on usage-based recurring revenue.
I don't really have any elaborate advice, other than to assess what engine you use in future projects. Again, I hope I'm wrong. I hope it's a misunderstanding.

Given Unity6 isn’t even out yet with the already announced fee changes these sounds like nonsense.
Thanks, I hate it.
