Jesus christ. I'm so deep into my current game I'm hesitant to move away. But this is bad...

I don't know what to do. I have a huge sunk-cost fallacy here.

I guess I'm going to ship it and pray, and then never use Unity again.

Jesus christ, what were they thinking?

Fuck Unity.

What is your monetization model for your game? It might not be a huge issue if you know you'll get way more than $0.20 per user. If you were selling a game for $10, this is minor. If you're making a f2p game where there's no guaranteed income and most of your players will not spend a dime, it's a lot riskier. I'd worry about the install counts getting spoofed by angry players, but that seems like a bigger liability for Unity than developers.

It's per install not per user! If your user installs it 5 times over the course of 2 years it already eats 10% of the game gross revenue. And it just keeps going..
