Unity Claims PlayStation, Xbox & Nintendo Will Pay Its New Runtime Fee On Behalf Of Devs

Subs are based on user sales. So Genshin installs 20 mil copies but only 5000 whales pay for it (ignore these Numbers, just an example), Unity would get paid for 5K sales but not for the other millions of users.

That's why they want to change to charge per install.

How many paying users there are doesn't matter. If Genshin had 20 million users spending 100 dollars each, or 5000 whales spending 400,000 dollars each, Hoyoverse would owe Unity the same amount of money.
The subs are based on the company's finances, not how many sales or something.

Unity wants to add the runtime fee because they want more money. That's it really.

Isnt Unity CEO the same guy that was in charge of EA at 2010s an Era where EA destroyed some great game studios? The same guy that called "Devs Who Don't Prioritize Monetization ‘Fucking Idiots"
Never before has a company destroyed its reputation in such a little time

Delisting won't be enough. They also need to block already bought games from being re-downloaded.

That sounds like something Sony would do.
Unity can say whatever they want but they cannot enforce paying on games release PRE CHANGE. Pretty sure that's illegal
