SFW sex game dev says Unity pushed new fee by dismissing Planned Parenthood charity as a "political group": "You wanna f*** us, but we are not bending over"

Of the many developer concerns surrounding Unity's new install fee, the company's rules for charity exemptions remain a particularly sore spot. With one developer already claiming its charity efforts have been dismissed by Unity for supporting what the company has deemed "political groups," those concerns have only worsened. 

In a Steam blog post spotted by GamesIndustry, indie developer LizardFactory claims that Unity has ruled against the charity funds from its "sex-positive non-pornographic puzzle game" Orgynizer due to the charities supported. 

As the Orgynizer Steam page reads: "All proceeds from this game go directly to Planned Parenthood, alternative donation targets are available in the settings menu." The alternative charity in question here is C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, which specializes in broad pediatric care and "safe, effective and progressive care for women and children," according to the hospital's website. 

LizardFactory's statement on Unity's stance is white-hot. "Out of the blue, the engine that we built the game with decided that they want to charge us 0.12-0.20 USD for each game install," the dev writes. "If this goes through, it would cost us around 30% of all the funds we have gathered and already sent to charity.

"We are based in the EU, and our legal aid have assured us that this is a very unlawful decision, especially due to its retroactive elements," LizardFactory adds. "It was stated that charity games would be spared, so we asked Unity to get confirmation that we would not be affected, but they believe our targets (Planned Parenthood and C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital) would NOT count as 'valid charities' and more 'political groups.' I speak on behalf of all of us when I say: GET F*CKED!"
