Unity

Effective January 1, 2024, we will introduce a new Unity Runtime Fee that’s based on game installs.

We are introducing a Unity Runtime Fee that is based upon each time a qualifying game is downloaded by an end user. We chose this because each time a game is downloaded, the Unity Runtime is also installed.

Games qualify for the Unity Runtime Fee after two criteria have been met: 1) the game has passed a minimum revenue threshold in the last 12 months, and 2) the game has passed a minimum lifetime install count.

• Unity Personal and Unity Plus: Those that have made $200,000 USD or more in the last 12 months AND have at least 200,000 lifetime game installs.

• Unity Pro and Unity Enterprise: Those that have made $1,000,000 USD or more in the last 12 months AND have at least 1,000,000 lifetime game installs.

This means that if you have made more than $200K in the last 12 months and have lifetime installs of over 200K, you'll have to pay per game install. It won't affect most people but this sounds outrageous. It's a good time to be a Godot enthusiast. Unity really is insanely desperate these days.

For anyone that has tried the 1.0 release of entities what do you think of it?

I plan on making a small test project with it soon and comparing it to Bevy.

I tried the 0.17 version a while ago, and I remember the API was a huge mess. I'm sure things could only get better from there.

The whole idea of interfaces finally clicked and I'm starting to see how useful they are for introducing possibilities of emergent gameplay. I might be addicted.

Oh yeah, and hi - just found this place. Looks pretty cool so far. (RIP RIF)
