A fresh report into Unity's hugely-controversial decision to start charging developers when their games are downloaded has thrown fresh light on the situation.

MobileGamer sources say Unity has already offered some studios a 100% fee waiver - if they switch over to Unity's own LevelPlay ad platform.

The report quotes industry consultants that say this move is an "attempt to destroy" Unity's main competitior in this field: AppLovin.

Time to polish off my unreal dev skills, something tells me those jobs about to be hot.

Better off with Godot

No, I'd be better off polishing off my existing skills using a technology that currently holds a significant market share in the industry.
