Joining Union is free. There is no fee to pay. If we're able to place your game somewhere and generate any profit from the deal signing or its sale, 80% of the money is yours.

We have no plans to place your games in the App Store. There are very few business barriers to placing games in the App Store, and no technical barriers using Unity. As such, we don't think we'd be providing much value by placing your games in the App Store for you. Other portals however, particularly if they are closed portals which require contracts, business relationships, etc. may be appropriate opportunities for Union to help your reach new audiences.

In some cases, yes. Converting an Android game to an iPhone game, for example, is not much work with Unity, in most cases. We can nearly automate this type of porting and handle the edge cases with our porting and QA teams.

In other cases, porting might be a *lot* of work. In addition to the basics, there may be significant core engine work needed for games just to run on the new target platform. We'll do this work. When there's significant game-specific work required for us to target a new platform, we'll approach the issue by offering you a chance to do this work directly, or, if you prefer and we accept, have it done by our porting team. If you choose the latter, and we accept, the costs of porting your game will be deducted from your 80% until the cost is recouped.

As an example, if we strike a deal with a publisher or platform which includes your game, but the new platform requires game-specific adaptations to meet QA requirements (resolutions, input, etc.), we'll reach out and discuss having you do the work needed to adapt your game. If you decline, we'll either choose not to do the work (likely because it's too expensive for the expected return), or we'll do the work ourselves and offset the costs we incur against the games royalties. So if it costs us $4,000 to port your game, it will need to earn $5,000, before the 80% royalty kicks back in.

Any developer, anywhere in the world can join Union. Different countries have varying tax treaties with the United States, and may require different withholding policies on royalty payments, but we're going to do our best to make sure Union works for anyone, anywhere.

Union will have no direct impact on the development of Unity. However, we hope that Union will have a very positive effect on the size and growth of this community. Our goal is to help more of you make enough money to continue making beautiful, creative things with Unity. Union will be a great way to increase your odds, without adding additional any risk or cost to your development.
