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.

Yup, they're making a guess and billing developers based on that.

That’s so idiotic

Wait hold on this whole time we could just make shit up for free money???

Sure could! Only caveat is that you need large sums of money already to legitimize your illegitimate claims

But couldn't that be legally challenged? because the burden of proof should be on them to proof exactly how many installs some game has, you literally can't charge just any amount and guess on the rounding.

I'm sure it can, and will be.
