I’d suspect if you’re doing those numbers that it’d be a company that’d need to be on Pro licences anyway so the thresholds would be much higher.

What if you're just an indie who makes some random app game that gets popular suddenly? Maybe you made the next Flappy Bird but didn't monetize it quite well enough?

They also got rid of the income threshold for Personal licenses.

I’d choose an engine without this silly install based scheme. Which is what I expect most hobbyists and small developers to do now.

The other route if the game was F2P or ad supported would be to use a similar process to the big guys and soft-launch to judge the product and monetization on a smaller scale.
