Unity Policy Change INSTANTLY DESTROYS ENTIRE Indie Developer Video Game Industry
58Unity's recent clarification on its new fee structure, rather than alleviating concerns, only highlights an increasingly worrying trend from the game engine behemoth. Many of us in the community are left scratching our heads, wondering, "What on earth is Unity thinking?"
From January 1, 2024, Unity intends to charge developers per game installation, a move that seems both insane and detrimental. While their follow-up "clarifications" tried to put out the fires of developer discontent, they may have only added more fuel. They seem to miss the mark entirely on understanding the livelihood and nuances of indie game developers. To me, and many others, their decisions appear half-baked, poorly thought out, and even predatory.
