It's 20¢ per install max so even if that policy is literal it isn't quite that extreme. But I do wonder if they'll have a policy for someone downloading repeatedly. I have my browser disk cache disabled so I wonder if it's actually literal in terms of install/initialization or if it's more about having some kind of Unity tracker cookie that identifies users.

Not only is it per install, it is also retroactive.

It's also ridiculous. They already have their deals in place for successful games made with their engine. Why they don't simply increase the royalty fee instead is beyond me.

To set precedent if they can get away with it
