Comment on Unity deleted these terms, don't let them get out

Your race car driver analogy makes no sense by the way. A developer makes a product and that product is shipped many times to a lot of people.

Well a car manufacturer makes a car and then sells it to a rental company and many rental car company customers use that car.

I’d say the analogy holds.

In your altered (before it was a race driver?) car rental company analogy, the developer would be the car rental company and Unity the car company? This would mean the developer would rent Unity to its users? Still not making any sense dude.

Apart from analogies. Here are some facts.

A commercial game is a product made by a developer

Unity is a tool that can be used by developer to make commercial games

Unity is also a part of what makes the product work and is shipped with the product.

Unity itself is a commercial product

Take any other kind of commercial product that is shipped along with a commercial product. Is it unfair to charge based upon the number of times that product is shipped?

  Nope, was always a rental car company analogy.

  No, a car manufacturer makes the car that would be unity and then sells it to their customers which would be the developers.
  
  Now if a developer was a rental car company, and they rented the car out to their customers, the rental car company doesn’t do payback to the car manufacturer, Unity.
  
  Still not making any sense dude.
  
  You’re overthinking it to win an Internet argument.

    Didn’t want respond directly to my point eh?
    
    No, a car manufacturer makes the car (that would be Unity( and then sells it to their customers (which would be the developers).
    
    Now if a developer was a rental car company, and they rented the car out to their customers, the rental car company doesn’t do payback to the car manufacturer, Unity. .

    You have a good logic gate as well.
