So our @unity licenses were auto-renewed for a year in December without warning ($800).

Here's the absurd customer service response to our request to cancel. 🧵

(I'm hoping to shed some light on the #darkpatterns in the @unity subscription model & customer service playbook)

[Wrench Game @TheWrenchGame]

Update: Build 140
New ITB Parts, billet fuel rail, races now award trophies, and a lot more.

@MR3Dev @UnrealEngine Hi. I'm one of the devs. It also has a desktop mode that uses mouse + keyboard. We always have this PR issue, even though we mention it plays both ways in about every video we put out. :)

[Unreal Engine @UnrealEngine]

Wrench is all the fun of preparing and maintaining your very own race cars, with none of the tricky grease stains. ✔️

Join us at today 2 PM EDT for another episode of Inside Unreal with the creators of this in-depth mechanic simulator.
