A major partner told John Riccitiello personally that it will not pay the Runtime Fee – and in the strongest possible terms.

of all the games released on Steam in 2022, only 70 have hit the million dollars threshold. I think it is misleading to bundle all "indies" in one big basket. Those 70 games can afford to pay or negociate. Don't get me wrong, total dick and amateurish move from Unity, but the amount of people around social media who believe game devs can just hit the threshold by accident and become unprofitable is ridiculous. Current gamedev here and ex Unity employee. It is worth denouncing Unity and fighting for our indies, but understand that this affect the 0.01%, literally. 70 games out of 6000 released games on Steam in 2022. Sure most games are shit and w/e, but you get the point.

70 out of 6000 is more than 1%, not 0.01%
