It's a positive development, not sure the negative comments. 5% is chump change if a game is successfull. The engine is also open source (so no hidden malware), runs on Linux and WebGL.

>The engine is also open source I think you mean the source code is available (i.e., anyone can download it), which is different from its coming with an open-source license, which is what most people mean by "open source".

  No, what you mean is Free Software

    No, it's not Open Source either: http://opensource.org/osd http://opensource.org/osd

      I think microsoft calls this "Shared Source"

        Actually no. Microsoft branded several licenses that way, but some of them are OSI-approved and FSF-approved (while not compatible with GPL).

        Then I guess we need a new name. The engine is "readable source"

At $3000/product/quarter it will also be completely free for many indie game and app developers while they try and build something people want.

  Many game developers will be smiling if they have to write that quarterly check.
