This tweet completely contradicts the reasoning previously found in their FAQ. So they're either not able to accurately measure reinstalls and issue invoices on approximations or they do track end-player information. Don't even know which is worse.
We want to acknowledge the confusion and frustration we heard after we announced our new runtime fee policy. We’d like to clarify some of your top questions and concerns:
Who is impacted by this price increase: The price increase is very targeted. In fact, more than 90% of our customers will not be affected by this change. Customers who will be impacted are generally those who have found a substantial scale in downloads and revenue and have reached both our install and revenue thresholds. This means a low (or no) fee for creators who have not found scale success yet and a modest one-time fee for those who have.
Fee on new installs only: Once you meet the two install and revenue thresholds, you only pay the runtime fee on new installs after Jan 1, 2024. It’s not perpetual: You only pay once for an install, not an ongoing perpetual license royalty like a revenue share model.
How we define and count installs: Assuming the install and revenue thresholds are met, we will only count net new installs on any device starting Jan 1, 2024. Additionally, developers are not responsible for paying a runtime fee on:
- Re-install charges - we are not going to charge a fee for re-installs.
- Fraudulent installs charges - we are not going to charge a fee for fraudulent installs. We will work directly with you on cases where fraud or botnets are suspected of malicious intent.
- Trials, partial play demos, and automation installs (devops) charges - we are not going to count these toward your install count. Early access games are not considered demos.
- Web and streaming games - we are not going to count web and streaming games toward your install count either.
- Charity-related installs - the pricing change and install count will not be applied to your charity bundles/initiatives.
For additional questions, we have updated our blog and FAQ resources. ⬇️

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Unity states that only ~10% of their customers will be affected, making it sound less bad than it is. As of the gaming report 2022 Unity had 230.000 developers - thats around 23.000 developers affected by the change. Lots of studios have posted statements about moving engines.

My gf got suspended on @Reddit for posting an app she developed hosted on @vercel (76.76.21.98). Some users reported that the app was inaccessible ("network error"). Is this IP banned by some ISPs? (I only found some issues regarding 76.76.21.22). cc @leeerob @Reddit_Support

Be careful what you buy on Amazon #PrimeDay as some prices have skyrocketed right before the deals started, e.g. de.camelcamelcamel.com/produ… - price increased ~100% to add a 44% discount. Serious shady bs right. Use camelcamelcamel.com to see price history and not get scammed.
Mind-boggling that many of the replies are simply against this regulation. Clapping on every keynote how environmentally friendly Apple tries to be - but being completely against a real environmental benefit without an obvious downside. 🤯

ALT export async function action({ request }: ActionArgs) { const formData = await request.formData() console.log(formData.get("name")) } export default function Form() { return ( <form method="POST"> <input type="text" name="name" /> <button type="submit">Submit</button> </form> ) }
Celebrities (/non-famous people, it doesn't make any sense if you look at it) who got their Twitter Blue without paying for it (like @perlmutations, @StephenKing, ...) while not liking the idea should simply add a notice to their name, so the "gifted checkmark" can be identified.
I'm sometimes curious if @jack us proud of what happened to his platform.
