\nhttps://blog.unity.com/news/open-letter-on-runtime-fee
\nThe Runtime Fee policy will only apply beginning with the next LTS version of Unity shipping in 2024 and beyond.
\nFor games that are subject to the runtime fee, we are giving you a choice of either a 2.5% revenue share or the calculated amount based on the number of new people engaging with your game each month. Both of these numbers are self-reported from data you already have available. You will always be billed the lesser amount.

Megaman X-2. I conquered the first entry in the X series as a kid many times, but never gave the sequels much of a chance. Now I’m changing that, and already discovering what I’ve missed.

Analogy: Imagine a supremely talented athlete being drafted by a franchise that is clueless how to surround the player with talent and is saddled with a front office who are utterly incompetent. That’s what happened to the Dreamcast! In the end, the athlete never sniffs a championship and never gets the full recognition they deserve.
\n\nShenmue: The open-world genre owes a huge debt of gratitude to Shenmue. Truly ahead of its time.
