We make fun of other companies' poor product-naming choices, but are we really doing that much better over here in Apple-land?

This glorious paragraph had to be in a product announcement's press release — in the main body text!

One implication that people don’t seem to be mentioning with the #unity3d news today is that like.

So they’re going to start charging per-install, right? Which means, for every game made with it the Unity runtime is going to be phoning home with identifying information about a user’s system and the game in order to track and enforce this.

And there will be no opt-out for the users.
