    Nothing is downloaded from Unity servers. This is an attempt at recouping money from developers making over 1M per year.

      It’s not recouping if they were never owed it… This is a shakedown, pure and simple.

        This is not the point I was trying to make. Replace “recoup” by whatever term you see fit I don’t think they are owed this money either. They are trying to cut on their quaterly losses tho, which are massives.
