Now thinking about it, its so valid point, how would that even work though if I am being honest

like I am pretty sure that the only way that they can do this is via giving it internet access and if that's the case, I wonder how much spying it does on our computer before sending it to unity headquarters in the name of this industry fees

Please, someone create a #usegodot or some twitter thing to just get it trending. We need to use goodot (I tried typing godot but I wrote goodot TWICE which is so funny and ironical so I am keeping it here)

Also I wonder how it might stand in eu / gdpr

Unreal already has % of revenue. How do they track that, and is this any different?

Aka my guess it's a combination of trust, verification using public numbers (like downloads on Steam) and the ability to do audits of some kind?

I believe that’s correct. It’s primarily on you to report revenues and they can audit you if they think you’re lying.
Unity knows what project you're building and if you've built it under a paid license before. If they notice you using a free license, they'll go after you.
If only godot was good. I think Stride3D has more chances of being a good replacement.
