    Let’s look at what are they apologizing for: “for the confusion and angst … [the policy we announced] caused”. Not for the policy itself. Right, “we’re sorry you got mad”.

    And what are they going to do about it? “making changes”

    As far as corporate non-apologies go, this is definitely one of them.


  • It’s also possible that they can’t track new installs either.

    FAQ:

    How is Unity collecting the number of installs?

    We leverage our own proprietary data model and will provide estimates of the number of times the runtime is distributed for a given project – this estimate will cover an invoice for all platforms.

    Which is some kind of weird nebulous BS.

    They’re not saying their engine phones home and/or collects data from end-user devices. With the associated data protection nightmares.
