Unity, A Major Game Engine Behind Countless Games, Abandons Its Controversial Runtime Fee
Unity is scrapping its Runtime Fee and returning to its previous seat-based subscription model, with price increases for Unity Pro and Unity Enterprise users. This decision, announced by Unity CEO Matthew Bromberg in a blog post, comes after extensive backlash from developers.

The fallout contributed to the resignations of former CEO John Riccitiello in 2023 and Unity Create head Marc Whitten in May 2024.
Under new leadership, Bromberg aims to restore trust with Unity’s user base. In his b…

Zelda- Skyward Sword HD – Goddess Cube Locations Guide
Goddess Cubes are one of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD’s more intriguing collectibles. Essentially, they’re magical cubes you hit with a Skyward Strike. Upon hitting them, a Goddess Chest will appear in the Sky region. These chests contain useful items, such as heart pieces and rupees.
