Unity issued a letter of apology: the free limit for Unity Personal has been raised to $200,000

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues on the way! CTOnews.com, September 23 (Xinhua)-- mainstream game engine Unity recently announced a new charging policy that will pay a fee to Unity every time a game using the Unity engine is installed from January 1, 2024.

This policy has caused strong dissatisfaction among developers, and Marc Whitten, president and head of Unity Create of Unity, issued a letter of apology today, saying that he will actively listen to feedback from developers in the game industry and adjust recent controversial changes.

"We want to continue to build the best engines for creators," Whitten said. "We really like the gaming industry because of the vast number of developers."

Unity said that while continuing to promote free, the free limit for Unity Personal will be raised to $200000 (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 1.46 million yuan). Any games currently built or about to be released with any version of Unity will not be affected by runtime costs.

From January 2024, games built through Unity Pro and Unity Enterprise will still charge runtime fees, but developers have two options, one is a 2.5% income fee, and the other is to calculate the amount based on the number of newcomers participating in the game each month.
