Unity answered on Twitter they have their way of doing that, but they didn’t explain it, which makes me think that either the system is unreliable, or it operates on data it shouldn’t collect There are a lot of gray zones regarding what “number of installs” means: does a pirated version of a game count as an “install”?

Every device used to enter the extended reality landscape needs to be able to access content from somewhere. In the past, companies have had to download and process huge amounts of data on their own computers and other devices, to enable XR experiences. Data doesn’t need to be simplified or reduced before it can reach an XR headset.
