It sounds like they initially wanted to charge developers per install (including a reinstall) but changed it after the backlash. The relevant section:
> After initially telling Axios earlier Tuesday that a player installing a game, deleting it and installing it again would result in multiple fees, Unity's Whitten told Axios that the company would actually only charge for an initial installation. (A spokesperson told Axios that Unity had "regrouped" to discuss the issue.)
- johnnyanmac 3y agowell, kind of: >But an extra fee will be charged if a user installs a game on a second device, say a Steam Deck after installing a game on a PC. if you use multiple devices you can still incur larger costs on the developers, unfortunately. This just means that you can't be braindead and uninstall/re-install hundreds of times to incur costs. But someone slightly tech saavy just spoofs hardware, or spins up emulator instances to get around this.
