    Not equivalent unless you pay a yearly subscription for your door. Unity is a subscription and so terms can be changed. It sucks but we need to ween off the subscriptions or this will keep happening.

      You don’t know what you’re talking about.

      Unity isn’t a subscription service there’s a pro version that’s got a subscription but the basic package is not subscription. Regardless of if you develop a game with the basic package or the pro package unity just take a cut of profits say 30%.

      You don’t pay ongoing costs to have the engine installed on computers and you don’t pay ongoing costs for your game being built in that engine. They take a cut of profits and now the new thing is that they also charge you when the game is installed regardless of whether it’s a person who already owns a licence installing it on a new device. That’s what’s bullshit about it. They are trying to charge people to install a game they already own on a new device.
