Unity has announced it will charge a "Runtime fee" to developers whenever their game is installed by a customer, potentially starting as high as $0.20 USD per install

It occurs to me that Unity's new pricing model incentivizes developers to get people to buy their games but then never install them. Steam players, you know what to do. You've been preparing all your lives for this moment. Remember your training.

They also say that 'They do not want to track users across devices, so each device will count individually'. They say you can appeal large charges, but only if you can prove that it's a botnet or bad-faith actors. If it looks like random data, the developers are stuck with the bill.
