Unity, the company behind the popular game development platform of the same name, announced it would change its controversial runtime fee policy after a wave of backlash from indie game developers who would reportedly face substantial negative impacts once the policy rolls out. What Unity will actually change and when it will announce the policy’s new shape remains to be seen, however.
“We have heard you,” Unity posted on its official Twitter account on Sep. 17, 2023. “We apologize for the confusion and angst the runtime fee policy we announced on Tuesday caused. We are listening, talking to our team members, community, customers, and partners, and will be making changes to the policy. We will share an update in a couple of days. Thank you for your honest and critical feedback.”
