They have destroyed their company. by Kenji Carter 09/14/2023, 5:43am PDT
What counts as an "install"? Apparently it's an install of the GAME that was made with Unity. So it's a fee based on how well the game does, theoretically. Not sure how that's tracked, and also there's the possibility that assfuck players can "install bomb" a game they hate . . . this is not confirmed but it's another level of wtf


I'm hearing that they are backtracking on the install thing because so many people were leaving their awful product. You have it right, you can install bomb someone, in theory. I don't trust that Unity has decent record keeping because any company that is so tone deaf to go in the direction they did simply does not have competent employees and leadership.
