I think it's important to point out : the 14% of revenue. It's 14% of REVENUE. Not BENEFITS. Not PROFITS. REVENUES.

Revenues is the raw amount of money that goes IN the company. It's before taxes. It's before costs. It's before salaries. It's before EVERYTHING.

I struggle to think of a single video game that could pay that, aside from the few gigantic successes. I struggle to think of any INDUSTRIES where a cost of 14% of your revenues doesn't erase your profit margin in its entirety.

@lastoneout that business model isn't just profoundly stupid : it's attempted murder of basically every Unity client.

This is greed taken to such a level of suicidal stupidity that it cannot be properly put into words.

At this point, I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if they DID sic mercenaries on him and published a graphic video of torture and murder to make an exemple out of him. Because it's wildly, stupidly out of any business related proportion.

Actually, this Unity mess makes sense when you learn that they've got the guy behind such brilliant ideas as "we should charge players per bullet in fps games" and "all together the Sims 4 expansion packs cost over $800" running the goddamn company.
