This is of course not including the yearly Unity subscription, where Unity Pro costs $2,040 per seat (although they may have Enterprise pricing)
Absolutely ridiculous. Many Unity devs are saying they’re switching engines on social media.

Smells like a lawsuit to me. Retroactively devaluing software that they were already paid for.
It’s probably a scream test that they’ll walk back with something more reasonable in the next few days.
Unity dev here. The Unity seats were always a subscription model, and this new fee system doesn’t kick in until January 1st.
So there’s no lawsuit, you don’t have to renew your subscription if you don’t want to though.
So if you don’t renew your subscription the new tax won’t effect you? From my understanding the change was retroactive and effected all previous unity games. If you don’t release a new build after the change will the tax still be applied?
They’re not gonna be able to charge you if you don’t have an active subscription
What about charging per download/install after the threshold? It sure sounds like it won’t matter if you’re subscribed or not, as their announcement mentioned Personal licenses would be charged USD 0,20 per download after the 200k lifetime
Don’t you need a subscription if you’re above the 200k threshold though?
Subscription is only for compiling
