Let’s not sugarcoat the situation, though.

Yes, this is a price increase and it will only…- Unity September 12, 2023 We wanted to provide clarifying answers to the top questions most of you are asking. Today we announced a change to our business model which includes new additions to our subscription plans, and the introduction of a Runtime fee. And it doesn’t take rocket science to understand how badly this system can be used by people to make a developer bankrupt. This means even if a person pirates the copy, Unity will charge you for that install.

Secondly, every game install will be considered for the $0.020 charge. Firstly, the company plans to add this system retroactively to every Unity game in the market. Things keep getting upsetting when you get more details on how this system works. Even Epic Games charges only 5% of your revenue once you reach a lifetime of 1 million dollar sales. In comparison, competitor engines like Godot, GameMaker, and RPG Maker do not charge a single penny when using their game engine. You know, the actual user base of the engine over the AAA or AA studios. Frankly, this sounds unrealistic and hurts smaller developers more than the bigger ones. This means you pay approximately $40,000 yearly once you reach the threshold. If we do some basic maths (which developer Rami Ismail explained aptly), Unity personal users will have to pay $0.20 per install once they cross 200,000 downloads in a year. Unity Pro and Unity Enterprise subscribers have to pay after they pass the $1 million revenue and 1 million lifetime install threshold. This system will kick in for developers who earned above $200,000 in the last 12 months and have a lifetime of 200,000 game installs. Starting 1st January 2024, developers have to pay a monthly runtime fee for new game installs. As per an official blog post by Unity, the new engine policy changes the pricing and licensing for developers.
