    Someone claims here that if you use Unity’s internal Ad API then you will make that money back, giving people who put ads in their games a free pass.

    If true, Unity is trying to force indie devs to enshittify their products.

      The problem with that is that it relies on the idea that people are able/willing to pay and aren’t willing to try something else. Game devs are naturally technical people who are okay with trying new things if their current solution stops being an option. Then there are indie devs who must work cheaply or they will not make anything off their games.

      Its a bold strategy cotton, let’s see how it plays out for them.
