Installs, not downloads.

That’s my understanding as well. You could have a game on Steam that you haven’t even updated in years, and then you suddenly have to start paying for new installs from existing owners.

Actually, it’s potentially even worse. You could have a game that you released and then later removed from every storefront, but if people keep installing it, Unity will demand payment.

How does your engine compare to MonoGame?

Still sucks if you’ve got a team that’s really good at Unity, but yeah

Microsoft has Unity games. I can’t imagine they’re happy.

Hindsight is 20/20, but maybe devs should have seen this coming 😑
