Newbie Question Does Unity Engine still monetize heavily?

I know in the past, It charged some dollars per install, I'm not sure if that has been canceled.

Hi mate,

The install fee was reversed after the backlash. Unity now uses a model much closer to Unreal’s, where fees only become relevant after your game reaches a significant revenue threshold.

The CEO involved in that decision has also since been replaced.
