I'm out of the loop: what is unity doing?
Short version is they're making it so every time someone does a fresh install of a game made in Unity, Unity is going to charge the developer. It's preposterously insidious and incredibly bad for indie devs.
Here's a good article about Unity going down the shitter: https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/the-death-of-unity
The most recent debacle is that Unity announced that developers will have to pay a fee every time a game is installed. This seems to include re-installs or pirated installs as well.
