Unity’s New Pricing: A Wake-Up Call on the Importance of Open Source in Gaming

Looks like you know a lot about F2P games, can you help me understand this fee in the context of other variables such as cost of customer acquisition? Is that usually a much lower amount than 20 cents? What about 2 cents, which would be the cost on a pro license, which most successful F2P devs would assuredly be able to afford?

I’m hoping you can answer these with concrete data. If that’s not possible, could you share your references?

2 cents with the pro-license only applies after the first 1M installs, tallied per month. If a game is under 100K installs per month, a pro license only lowers the install fee from 20 cents to 15.

I see. And this error explains why I’m being downvoted and don’t deserve any other answers?
