      Yes, the fee applies to eligible games currently in market that continue to distribute the runtime. We look at a game’s lifetime installs to determine eligibility for the runtime fee. Then we bill the runtime fee based on all new installs that occur after January 1, 2024.

      I read that as it’s billing moving forward but they’ve been very opaque thus far so I’m willing to entertain there’s a contradiction elsewhere lol

        As I understand it, they’re billing moving forward but counting past installs for the purpose of figuring out if you have to pay.

        yeah i deleted my post because they keep changing their minds.
        its retroactive (for now) in the sense that they started counting from before, just only billing for new ones.
