Here's what developers are saying about the Unity Runtime Fee on social media, and what games could be impacted.
Some developers are seriously considering de-listing their games from online shops when the Unity Runtime Fee kicks off at the start of next year, meaning some titles built on Unity could end up being temporarily - or permanently - unavailable. So, what does this all mean for you, the player? Right now, it's all up in the air. This is causing many developers to contemplate the future of their games - including both titles built on Unity that are already released and games currently in development with Unity's game engine. Even though Unity has already walked back some aspects of the Unity Runtime Fee, the controversial policy is still scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2024.
