Unity has announced that starting on January 1st, 2024, it will implement a new pricing model that will charge developers based on how many times a game was installed.

    The more I read about it the more fucked up it gets.

    Premium subscriptions don’t include the new fee.
    Their system to detect installs is unknown, as are their anti-tamper measures.
    All they said about those is that they’ll cannibalize code from their ad-system.

      Imagine if their phone home system for tracking installs could be defeated by something as simple as Pihole DNS Ad block.
