Unity pretty much admitted they know it will be abused as hell :D

@LukeAlmighty Translation: We will randomly attempt to shake you down by claiming "50k installs were recorded this month, but since some are fraudulent we'll only charge you the fee for 10k." #GoodGuyUnity

@caekislove
More like: Ok, We'll take 45k and 5k late fee. See you in court suckers...

@LukeAlmighty And all this is on the honor system, so you'd better hope that the (jew) owners of unity are being honest about their "reported" numbers!
@LukeAlmighty "Distributed". So Unity devs definitely have to pay for piracy! 😂
@LukeAlmighty @caekislove all legal according to the ToS. Unity is a free company after all. Nothing you can do.
@DrRyanSkelton @LukeAlmighty Yet if *I* sent someone an invoice for $50k out of the blue, I'd be charged with fraud!

@caekislove
My favorite legal shit was during czech lockdowns.

They said: Going outside is illegal. If it is found, that this lockdown is illegitimate, and you were punished, you can sue them retro-actively.

The lockdown was 1 week later found to be illegitimate, and ANOTHER LOCKDOWN was declared mere hours later.

@caekislove
Therefore, if you broke that law during that week, you were correct, but by the time it was declared, you were wrong again for going outside.

They could have just released a completely new version, "Unity Gen+" or some bullshit, stated the new model and just stopped updating the current one over the next year.

How did they not realize this would have turned into a shit show? They could have also just said "2 cents per purchase" and had integrations to report Steam/Console/Gog sales ..

@djsumdog
In a per-sale model, even a fucking dollar would still feel more fair :D

@LukeAlmighty I'm gonna make a unity game then make a macro to install and uninstall my game billions of times and then sue unity for billions of dollars
@LukeAlmighty I'm pretty sure that 4chan is coming up with a way to abuse the system to troll progressive developers.
