From another journalist who covered this: (nitter)

I got some clarifications from Unity regarding their plan to charge developers per game install (after clearing thresholds)

If a player deletes a game and re-installs it, that's 2 installs, 2 charges

Same if they install on 2 devices

Edit: Someone got to stealing this joke before I did lol https://hexbear.net/post/581395
