Per install. You got 2 computers and steamdeck? Make that $1.50 extra.

Since youre a fan, how about steam and unity work to make it "fair" and just have the download fee on the store page. That way, you can pay for the game, then pay Unity each time you actually play the thing you own!

What a great deal for everyone, especially you!
