Yeah, I don't understand what the controversy is about. Free games still won't have to pay anything. Asking 20 cents per install if the players pay at least $1 per install seems fair to me.

    This assumes that each player only installs it once but games can be installed multiple times. I could even write a script that automatically reinstalls a game over and over again and thereby cause high cost for the developers.

    Edit: Apparently Unity plans to detect and prevent fraudulent behavior. However, a user can still install a game multiple times for valid reasons. Something like Gamepass would also be very problematic for devs.
