Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Coje_He, StarKWL, rain and snow on the way, handwritten previous clues delivery! CTOnews.com, September 20 (Xinhua)-- popular game engine Unity recently announced a new charging policy that will pay Unity a fee for every game installed using the Unity engine from January 1, 2024. This policy caused a backlash among developers, and Re-Logic, the developer of Unity, stepped forward to announce donations and support for other open source game engines as an alternative to Unity.

Re-Logic published an article on the X website, calling Unity's charging policy "predatory" and "explicitly condemning" the proposed fee changes and "improper implementation of these changes". "the saddest thing is that Unity has easily abandoned the trust it has built with developers, publishers and players over the years in order to make more money," Re-Logic said. "

Re-Logic said it was not enough to make a statement, so it decided to donate $100000 each to two open source game engines, Godot and FNA (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 730000 yuan), and will continue to support both projects, providing $1000 per month for each project (currently about 7300 yuan).

Unity announced a new "runtime fee" a week ago and plans to implement it on January 1, 2024. These fees will vary depending on the plan the developer uses. For example, a Unity personal or Unity Plus subscriber has earned more than $200000 in the past 12 months and will pay 20 cents for each installation after a cumulative total of more than 200,000 installations. However, after being strongly resisted by developers, Unity retracted its words and promised to change the policy.
