Now every mid-sized indie dev that was ever considering making a game with their product is going to fuck off, which was their entire market. The devs behind Slay the Spire have already stated they're scratching all the work they put into Slay the Spire 2 on Unity and are now going to find a new game engine.
Also did some more research on this whole shitshow. Apparently Unity bought out an Israeli company (I'm not joking) called Ironsource, who was famous for spyware. So supposedly the whole thing about Unity's engine sending info back to their servers about your hardware is actually going to be used to track installs, so that's how they'll magically know. You know what that means? People pirating games made with Unity will also count towards the downloads. That's $0.20 per download. It costs me ZERO dollars to pirate Cult of the Lamb and set up a script to keep installing and uninstalling it over night while I'm sleeping. What does this mean to me? Nothing. What does this mean to the devs? A $4,000 USD fee from the 20,000 installations. Oh gee, I hope there's not some super profitable company using Unity right now.
OH WAIT
