Taking profits means that:

They know the developer is making profits
There are actually profits - no one will ever be charged for money they don't have
It can all be traced and taxed fairly and legally
Non-profit developers aren't punished

Doing it based installs is none of that.

It's insane. It's a stupid idea from an idiot who probably arrogantly ignored everyone who told him it was a stupid idea.

If I was a shareholder of Unity I would want this moron investigated for selling shares and then tanking the company.

No doubt they are going to buy shares at the lower price before they announce a total reversal or this plan.
