A fresh report into Unity’s hugely-controversial decision to start charging developers when their games are downloaded has thrown fresh light on the situation.

MobileGamer sources say Unity has already offered some studios a 100% fee waiver - if they switch over to Unity’s own LevelPlay ad platform.

The report quotes industry consultants that say this move is an “attempt to destroy” Unity’s main competitior in this field: AppLovin.

    Ah, so the decision is very anti-developer, very anti-consumer, and only has any neutral/advantage outcome for themselves.

    I feel really bad for the devs and studios scrambling to accommodate, but… Cool, I hope unity goes under for that choice :)

    Consumers. Don’t. Need. Or. Want. More. Ads. Especially on shit they already paid for. Fuck off with that double-dip shit, it’s exhausting.
