#2How does this pricing scheme even make sense? Why do they think "installs" is a relevant metric? I could uninstall and reinstall a game 100,000 times. Would I single handedly cost the developers a ton of money?

#3Do any companies pre-game this out with PR response plans for scenarios of "public acceptance", "public indifference", "public outrage" and so on? Or are the executive suites usually so high on their own supply that they expect everyone to accept whatever is doled out?

#4Oof. So they are doubling down rather than taking the feedback and making changes based upon it.
I do not see much growth in Unity's future.

They are resting on the fact they have a near monopoly for indie and their only competitor is Unreal at this point.

They are apparently attempting to prevent that... but installs on 'separate devices' still count. So I'm sure someone will find a way to do precisely that.

Godot is the new Unity, Unity is the new Unreal, and Unreal is the new Source engine, complete with the accompanying storefront.
