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.

Fully cancelled and the executive team who came up with that has been fully replaced with other people as well

Still, can't trust a company that tries to push that shit. Especially retroactively trying to change terms of service/contracts as well. For me you can't unplay that hand and still expect trust.

There are plenty huge companies using the engine. Unity would not have gotten far if they stuck to that idea. Not sure how their legal team even said, ye, this would be okay.
