However the amount of negative press is overblown as they are starting far in order to give things up during negotiations. And despite saying it’s only charged on first install; I’ve seen people claim it will bankrupt devs

It's charged on ever reinstall, not only on the first.

Whitten told Axios that the company would actually only charge for an initial installation.

Unity's free tier of development services would owe Unity $0.20 per installation once their game hit thresholds of 200,000 downloads and earn $200,000 in revenue.

With pro plans having lower fees and a higher threshold, the majority of devs aren’t going to feel this
