Unity drama

Is Ultra kill going to be removed from steam? Due to the fact it uses unity, should I be worried?

im p sure that the runtime fee was backtracked, although not repairing the trust of the developers that they betrayed

Probably not (for now, at least)
This change only affects games that have already made thousands, so this probably wont be nearly enough to get the game off steam, a lot of the reason people are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on unity right now is because of how scummy their practices are, they silently removed "changes made to our tos will only affect newer versions" from their tos so that this affected everyone, which completely nuked any trust anybody had with unity

As part of unity's backtracking, the fee is now exclusive to version 2023+, & it's now self reported

- At best, Steamspy estimates the owner count to be 2-5m
(2,000,000 * 20$ - 0.20c * 2,000,000) * 0.7 = $27,720,000 before tax
- Assuming a generous 20% of users review, everyone collectively gets it on sale, & reinstalls it 4 times in their lifetime
(70,150 * 5 * $15 - 1 * 70,150 ) * 0.7 = $3,633,770 before tax

Ultrakill was never going to go down, the demo might have tho.
