Someone finally calculated the cost of legal challenges, I guess. While this certainly saves in developer costs in legal fees, I don’t see why anyone would keep their projects in Unity under the new terms, charging a developer based on a metric disconnected from sales is always going to incur unacceptable risk unless the developer has really deep pockets.
“We apologize for the confusion” is the “I’m sorry you’re angry” of corporate communication.
Even if they are not currently lying and have the magical ability to determine the exact number of installs. They have shown that they will arbitrarily change their pricing structure. There is no way they can be trusted. Anyone who can move their project to a new engine would be wise to do so.
Just add

to crontab and run it once a minute, problem solved.
Outer Wilds is top of my list for most profound video game experiences. I have never went from joy to thinking “Oh. Oh…” so fast in one game. Plus, the music and graphics are so well done and support the narrative themes and mood. Just a masterpiece game.
Stick with the story through the end of Shadowbringers there is a good payoff.
It sounds like you’re a little bit into it. If at this point you are not curious about the Nomai or why you keep dying and finding answers to those questions, then you should stop playing. The game might not be for you. Because it tells a non-linear story and if you don’t care about the story then there’s nothing there for you.
That being said, my experience with the game was heavily influenced by recent loss in my life and playing it helped me process my grief. Naturally that is a highly personal experience. But there was one point in particular where I read one bit of text and the realization of the implications just made me sit there and cry until I died.
But I was fully invested in the story. If that isn’t important to you the gameplay alone isn’t going to carry it.
