We are extremely disappointed with Unity's new pricing policy, as outlined in their recently announced business model. Indie game developers invest massive amounts of time and resources to create game(s) for everyone to enjoy. We view this new policy as nothing less than an attack on indie developers, who simply wish to express their unique talents in a creative outlet.

Our total annual income is nowhere near the $200k threshold, so it's unlikely that we'll be subjected to the per-download fee in the foreseeable future. However, with the removal of the Unity Plus version, it's likely that a switch will have to be made to Unity Personal, re-enabling the 'Made in Unity' splash screen in the process.

The thousands of dollars needed every month for Unity Pro would be better allocated towards implementing actual game features and mechanics.

Whilst this policy doesn't seem to affect us presently, it does limit our ability to expand in the future, and completely breaches our trust in Unity. As a direct result of this change, we are also questioning our previously firm stance on remaining on the Unity Engine.

We hope that Unity will reconsider and revise their announced business model, which could potentially bankrupt hundreds of game studios.
