Would be nice if more people started using Godot because of this.

It's not clear to me from the article but is Unity going to charge their old customers retroactively under this new landlord-type scheme? Because that sounds illegal.

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

Wow Unreal should start paying Unity for this kind of marketing.

looks like i won't be learning to use unity after all.

not that i actually ever wanted to. i always wanted to use godot, only wanted to learn unity so i could easily find a job in the ~~indie~~ game industry.

unity's an overly complex, difficult-to-navigate-through mess anyway.

Conveniently timed to let the CEO get some insider trading out of his system, too: https://dotesports.com/business/news/unitys-controversial-business-decision-comes-mere-days-after-ceo-sells-2000-shares
