Also, what's stopping Unity from running bot farms that just install games over and over again to generate revenue for themselves from developers.

[–] JBloodthorn@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

Their pricing is based on "trust me bro" currently, since they don't have details on how it will work. They say it was installed i number of times, therefore you owe them j. No need for a bot farm when they can just lie, since we have no way to verify their numbers.

Because then the devs go under and you can't milk them for more money over time?

I'm not defending them, but why the fuck would they want to shut down developers? That just doesn't make sense.

They only need to do so much so the developers don't go under, but are forced to pay more. It's a spectrum not a binary.
