Thank you so much for clarifying that! It makes sense now. I just wonder if folks are required to use at least one of those services in order for Unity to have at least some kind of information regarding titles sold or something like that.

How does Unity estimate the Runtime Fee when I have not supplied data?

While we always recommend you supply your own data, in the absence of that, we will use our own data from Unity services that you have agreed to integrate into your project, and readily available external data.

Does the Unity Runtime phone home by default?

It does not, unless you have hardware stats enabled.

I'm not a gamedev nor have ever used Unity to develop something, but those two sections seem conflicting. Can anyone kindly explain how they have their "own data from Unity services" while the runtime does not phone home by default? Thanks!

Missing a feed with actual relevant updates? The old one is still available, just not so pretty.

Another interesting detail: clicking on substack’s URL on their profile shows a page stating that:

To be honest I'm not sure which move was worse: They announcing they would be sunsetting, or they going back on the decision after the backlash. I feel like the trust was already lost after the initial decision; there's no going back after that.

Out of curiosity: what do you work with? Asking since I’d like to move to OpenBSD as well, but several tools are not available. For instance, the company I work for relies heavily on Docker. :(
