So basically, they made it optional, but you still have to pay 2.5% which is still significant. Otherwise you can use the runtime fee and report data yourself (it will probably be cheaper)

You can just use Unity 2021.3 LTS, its still under the old terms. (Or any version prior)

That's only a short-term solution. That LTS only lasts so long, and both Apple and Google now require that you recompile your app with the latest APIs every 2 years or less.

Not a chance. I've been using Unreal for a few years now, and as soon as Godot has the features I need I'll go back to it. The company behind Unity has shown they don't care about their engine, just the money they can extract from it. And who's to say they don't change their terms at some future time when things have quieted down, and the dust has settled, to retroactively introduce this run-time fee back into the mix for older versions as well.

Some people are really salty about your fact spitting. Please go on. :)

I don't agree with people downvoting you just cause its unity lmfao, but yeah im just sticking with godot, theyre advancing pretty fast and you can immediately tell the features are implemented with game dev in mind... where unity feels more like a cheaper version of unreal's "everything" engine.

Yeah Lemmy is kind of funny in that regard, the downvote is not a disagree button.

It's a "get this shit outta here" button. So I understand the downvotes.

Yeah, forget unity.
