It's no longer retroactive so long as developers don't move their existing Unity games onto a new version of the engine (although this could become an issue for games receiving long-term updates), and the revenue share option means that developers who produce free or cheap games can't wind up in a situation where Unity charges them more than they're earning. The changes address the biggest complaints with the fee's particulars. Installs will be self-reported, rather than determined by Unity's 'proprietary data model.'.Games which are subject to the Runtime Fee (they've made $1M in the past 12 months and have been installed more than 1M times) can opt for a 2.5% revenue share instead, and will always be billed the lower amount.

The Runtime Fee won't apply to games made on the current or older versions of Unity, unless the developer moves them onto the new version releasing next year or future versions.That threshold has been increased to $200K. Unity’s real-time 3D development engine lets artists, designers, and developers collaborate to create amazing immersive and interactive experiences. The free Unity Personal plan was previously restricted to studios that made less than $100K in the past 12 months.

The new install fee (called a 'Runtime Fee') will not apply to games made with the Unity Personal or Plus plans, only the Pro and Enterprise plans.

The more correct analogy in your if you want to make it about car is that company A bought tools to manufactured cars and now suddenly the company B that sell the tools demand a cut for every car sold if the car was made using their tools. In an 'open letter' published today, Unity executive Marc Whitten apologized for the company's errors and outlined the revised plan. Unity already has a price for companies/industry using their engine to make stuff.
