Unity Vows to Revise Controversial Install Fee Policy Following Backlash
Unity has apologized for the confusion and backlash caused by its controversial game install fee policy and has promised to make changes to the policy. The company received criticism from developers, with some even considering a class action lawsuit. Unity clarified that the fee would only be charged for initial installs, exempting charities and demos, and shifting the responsibility of payment to subscription service owners rather than developers. However, some developers who had committed to Unity's previous pricing structure expressed frustration and feeling trapped. Unity's changes are yet to be seen if they will satisfy the developer community.
