Starting January 1, 2025, Unity Pro will see an 8% price increase, raising the annual subscription fee to $2,200 per seat. Unity Enterprise will experience a 25% increase, with new minimum subscription requirements for customers generating over $25 million in annual revenue. These changes will apply to all new and existing subscriptions from that date. (Because these licenses involve major companies, the prices can vary based on different packages.) Bromberg stressed in his blog post that Unity will continue to increase prices as it needs to, but will only do so annually via subscription fees going up. It won’t try to squeeze pennies out of every developer using the engine based on how many times people install your game.

“Canceling the Runtime Fee for games and instituting these pricing changes will allow us to continue investing to improve game development for everyone while also being better partners,” said Bromberg.

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.

The devs of Slay The Spire are migrating to other engine

the MEGA Slay Spire CRIT The Mega Crit team has been hard at work these past 2+ years on a new game. But unlike with Slay the Spire, the engine we have been developing it in is Unity. The retroactive pricing structure of Runtime Fees is not only harmful in a myriad of ways to developers--especially indies--it is also a violation of trust. We believe Unity is fully aware of this, seeing as they have gone so far as to remove their TOS from GitHub. Despite the immense amount of time and effort our team has already poured into development on our new title, we will be migrating to a new engine unless the changes are completely reverted and TOS protections are put in place. We have never made a public statement before. That is how badly you f----- up.

Unity's TOS (pre-October 13, 2022)

To simplify this. Most Unity Devs don't just install the newest version of Unity because a lot of our games require code they change, and we need legacy support for our versions if needed.

The Previous Unity TOS states, in general; that our version build is tied to the rules of that year. Ergo- If we use any version prior to the new "Runtime Fee" then we are not affected by it. This would protect all devs using older Unity builds (which is all of them)

However... It seems this rule was removed out of CURRENT TOS without our knowledge, It is currently unsure if this was a contract change that was public or done in secret. lots of devs thinks this might have been behind our backs.

Apology from Unity (joke)

Unity Community, We are listening. Upon reflection, we realize we should have sought more input from our community and valued partners before implementing such a significant change. We fell short in this aspect, and for that, we are genuinely sorry. We have always prided ourselves on the transparent and symbiotic relationship we have with our user base. Unity's success story is intrinsically linked to the achievements and growth of our developers. Effective immediately, we will be taking a 50% revenue split from your games and investing it directly in the Al technology you love. We also might buy another adware company or launch a third SRP. Shut the f--- up and take it. Unity®
