    Doesn’t steam let you download games you purchased that have since been removed? Will they try to bill developers still in this case?

        Curious if they would charge once install was completed or once install commences.

        If I try to install a game and for whatever reason it fails, and I have to try again, would they charge for two installs?

          Probally an api call that goes out to Unity once you start a game and the engine comes online.

          Im sure they would love to charge devs the instant we click a download link though.

            An API call that could be faked. Easily.

            Imagine a bot network that screws over a developer because of fake installer API calls.
