Unity 3d is the game engine that also brought you the very delightful and Metafilter-approved Velociraptor Safari

Unity3D is Yet Another Closed Source Browser Plugin That Seems To Be Kinda Cool Now But You Will Wish It Had Never Existed In Three Years.

Which is exactly what I should have done before flinging myself headlong into this game.

Although I have seen no nasty malware-type effects so far -- just to clarify. Also to clarify, this is no proof that I won't see any later.

First thought - the old board game fireball island - and then I get to level 8. Fun for a moment.

Oooooooooh, Unity.

Which doesn't support Linux and may never, despite the platform's Mac/Unix origin (same thread, a few posts down).

Whups, there's a barrier to entry.

Closed source software should be made illegal and programmers should become publicly funded like military personnel. Closed source software gives criminals too much opportunity and private companies too much power.

Unity itself might be squeeky clean. But the habit of assuming that stuff like Unity is safe is one of the main reason we have botnets (which are the reason 95% of e-mail traffic is spam).
