Ffs, add twenty cents to the price, fuck it add 50 cents so valve gets it's cut and you do too. If it's a good game from an indie developer I'll buy it.
They aren't demanding a cost per purchase, they are demanding a cost per install. The abuses this could lead to are widespread and could easily lead to many bankruptcies.
Per install. You got 2 computers and steamdeck? Make that $1.50 extra.
Since youre a fan, how about steam and unity work to make it "fair" and just have the download fee on the store page. That way, you can pay for the game, then pay Unity each time you actually play the thing you own!
What a great deal for everyone, especially you!
