Unity's Controversial Move: Flat Fee for Every Game Install Sparks Outrage

The gaming world is abuzz with controversy as Unity, the beloved gaming engine, announces a dramatic shift in its pricing strategy. Unity, known for its versatility, has been the go-to engine for developers ranging from small startups to industry giants, allowing them to create games for a wide range of platforms, including PC, Mobile, Consoles, VR, and Web.

However, starting from January 1st, 2024, Unity will implement a flat fee for every game install, regardless of the developer's revenue from that installation. This applies to both paid and free games once a certain threshold is reached.

The big question looms: How will Unity define and track an 'install' without infringing on players' data privacy? The concept appears to rely heavily on trust.

The announcement sent shockwaves through the gaming industry, causing Unity's stock to plummet. Many studios declared their intentions to abandon Unity, emphasizing the importance of a trustworthy partnership over profits.

Intriguingly, top Unity shareholders had offloaded significant portions of their stocks in the weeks leading up to the announcement. Rumors swirl of internal unrest within Unity, with reports of employee resignations and office closures due to threats.

Stay tuned as this story continues to unfold in the gaming world.
