Today we found out that Unity is introducing a disasterous "Runtime Fee" policy.
Will they walk it back and reverse this descision?
At the end of the month if they have not announced a reversal of the policy this market resolves NO.
Otherwise at the end of the month this market resolves YES.
Clarification from the comments:
"The key thing is that whatever they do it has to feel like a total walkback and not just a slight downgrade / sidegrade into something PR viable. At a minimum no installation/runtime fees before we even need to think about it."

I guess I got newbie baited by the inconsistent/changing details, but it's play money so I'm not too upset. Could the OP give an example of Unity having a new revenue-boosting policy that resolves to Yes? Like, no install fee but some other new charge?

@DavePanfilo A rev share model like Unreal is not a runtime fee. I also object that the details meaningfully changed. Literally the description said "reverse this decision" and that has not happened.

Sold all, since the title and description just seeem inconsistent. 'walk back' and the description are very open to interpretation.

@SneakySly "Will Unity fully reverse their new "Runtime Fee" policy by the end of September" sounds more like the description.
The description doesn't describe walking back. It describes a full reversal.
Only a total reversal counts, or if they make changes most people including the Mega Crit studio are happy about would count to?
@SneakySly would be good to clarify in the description as you did in the comments that a simple change to the terms of the install fees is not enough to resolve this market to yes. It would have to completely get rid of install fees. But let's say they changed it to rev share, does that still count?
@nottelling2ccc The backlash to this has gotten so extreme that I think Unity might seriously consider walking this back. Though I don’t think it would repair much trust at this point…


They're gonna change it to a fee per hour played in the first 2 weeks and I'm gonna bankrupt your company.
@AngolaMaldives Yeah, I could have mentioned that the market creator is part of MegaCrit.


@SneakySly I've been meaning to play that for a while now, so I should probably download it ASAP...knowing my ADHD, I will forget if I procrastinate.
