K Kotaku @Kotaku A Year Later, Unity Cancels Controversial Runtime Fees Completely dlvr.it/TD9GN6 Traduire le post ☑Unity • 5:28 PM 12 sept. 2024 14 k vues 3 121 49 ☐ 4 ↑

IGN @IGN In the wake of a massive controversy regarding previously announced (and then walked-back) install fees, Unity's CEO John Riccitiello is stepping down. bit.ly/48LeHyw Traduire le post Unity® 5:00 PM 9 oct. 2023 249,3 k vues .

Our Unity Personal plan will remain free and there will be no Runtime Fee for games built on Unity Personal. We will be increasing the cap from $100,000 to $200,000 and we will remove the requirement to use the Made with Unity splash screen. No game with less than $1 million in trailing 12-month revenue will be subject to the fee. For those creators on Unity Pro and Unity Enterprise, we are also making changes based on your feedback. The Runtime Fee policy will only apply beginning with the next LTS version of Unity shipping in 2024 and beyond. Your games that are currently shipped and the projects you are currently working on will not be included - unless you choose to upgrade them to this new version of Unity. We will make sure that you can stay on the terms applicable for the version of Unity editor you are using - as long as you keep using that version. For games that are subject to the runtime fee, we are giving you a choice of either a 2.5% revenue share or the calculated amount based on the number of new people engaging with your game each month. Both of these numbers are self- reported from data you already have available. You will always be billed the lesser amount.

I got some clarifications from Unity regarding their plan to charge developers per game install

Stephen Totilo @stephentotilo 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 - Charity games/bundles exempted from fees Game Developer @gamedevdotcom. 22h Unity introducing new fee attached to game installs gamedeveloper.com/business/unity...

Garry Newman Has Some Questions

garry @garrynewman 1. Will this price ever increase? Can we get it locked in a contract? 2. How are you tracking installs on PC? 3. How do you differentiate between demos and full games? 4. Do uninstalls and reinstalls count? 5. How do you count offline installs? 6. How do you differentiate between a purchased copy and a pirate copy? 7. What systems do you have to prevent bad actors faking installs to rack up expenses? 8. How can we be assured that your tracking data is valid? 9. Are you already tracking our games usage? 10. What other data are you harvesting from our users? 11. Is this data used for this purpose only? 12. Will you track when users refund on steam? 13. Will there be any other additional taxes? Can we get it in a contract? 2:55 PM. Sep 12, 2023 58.7K Views

Pretty cool to see #unity execs performing actual insider trading

Scott Richmond @ScottTRichmond Pretty cool to see #unity execs performing actual insider trading by selling shares mere days before the obvious shitshow that is now the pricing structure changes.

they can now straight-up tank you financially by organizing a mass install-campaign

(رامي) Rami Ismail @tha_rami If you're a Unity developing studio, good luck if you ever piss off your userbase. Instead of tanking your Metacritic with a mass review-campaign they can now straight-up tank you financially by organizing a mass install- campaign. 11:46 AM . Sep 12, 2023 414.6K Views

you'd end up up to $60K in debt

(رامي) Rami Ismail @tha_rami "Fun" thought experiment with Unity's new pricing model: If you made a game that just reached $200K in revenue at a 50/50 publisher split, and you decided to support say, this charity bundle for Racial Justice, you'd end up up to $60K in debt. Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality 1,000+ Works/840+ Creators / $5,700 in Value $5 Minimum Donation / All Proceeds Donated itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality by itch.io and 1391 others Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality: 1741 items for $5.00 : 11:41 AM .
