Fees of up to $0.20 per install threaten to upend large chunks of the industry.

    Yeah, this isn’t a “I’m never using Twitter again!” kind of fiasco. This has upset Capitalist™®© company heads, who now see Unity as a financial risk. Money tends to have more of a sway than morality.

      Apparently Genshin Impact and some Nintendo Games are made in Unity, and there are even some plans to charge Microsoft for Game Pass installs.

      I hope Unity’s legal team is prepared.

        I really hope they’re not, because this practice needs to crash and burn brightly as a warning beacon to other corpos’ grubby fingers.

        Well I mean I wouldn’t mind seeing Genshin Impact suffer. They’re advertising and fanbase are insufferable. But I’ve never been a fan of Unity and it’s nice to see everybody else getting on board now too.
