TNW 303: Developers Unite Against Unity - Smart Car Privacy, MGM Resorts, Google Antitrust

Listen Later

Game developers using the Unity Engine are crying afoul over Unity's pricing structure. Why are cars the worst product category for user privacy? A cyberattack shut down MGM Resorts for some time. And why the U.S. government is blasting Google for paying $10 billion a year to cut out search rivals.

  • Unity has updated its pricing structure, leading many within the gaming & developer community to grow frustrated with the game engine. Kyle Orland of Ars Technica stops by the show to explain what happened.
  • Misha Rykov of the Mozilla Foundation joins the show to discuss the Mozilla Foundation's Privacy Not Included guide and why cars are not the best product for a user's security and privacy.
  • Jason Howell shares how a cyberattack against MGM Resorts shut down its services for a period of time.
  • And Mikah Sargent talks about the U.S. government's anti-trial against Google as the company is taken to trial over its monopolistic grasp on online searching.

    • Hosts: Jason Howell and Mikah Sargent

    Guests: Kyle Orland and Misha Rykov
