    According to the article only installs on new devices are counted.

    Furthermore this only takes efrect after a certain threshold of revenue and installs.

      Ah yes, because it’s that difficult to spoof a new PC. You can run a tool similar to a kernel level anti cheat “ban bypass”, run the game, and cost the developer up to 20 cents. With a relatively simple script, this can be done many times per hour on a single PC, easily racking up cost for the developers.

      This is a bad idea, no matter how you implement it. If it goes through, it will be abused.

        Not arguing with that. I totally agree with you. Just wanted to correct the comment.
