Looking at Unity wanting to charge 20 cents and the game development industry falling over itself to explain how that will never ever work for them... I dunno, maybe other app types (firefox, a mastodon client, osmand, local public transport.. looking at random examples from my homescreen) make enough money from their users and this will be doable for them when microtransaction-laden games couldn't make 2/5ths of that price work out
Here Apple is tracking an install across the entire user account per year, so even if you have tons of devices and install the app on every single one of them, that's still just one "install".
> that even loading the game in a web browser was an "install", and someone downloading and deleting and downloading the app over and over on a device was also repeated "installs".
The Apple change isn’t really comparable (not saying it’s good or bad) because Apple are introducing a new pricing structure.
Most genuine critics of Unity’s proposed changes were fine if it wasn’t replacing what existed.
