Unity's Proprietary Install Tracking

How are installs tracked? We leverage our own proprietary data model, so you can appreciate that we won’t go into a lot of detail, but we believe it gives an accurate determination of the number of times the runtime is distributed for a given project.

A screenshot of a social media exchange shows Cactus asking Unity how game-engine installs are tracked. Unity responds with elaborate corporate wording while refusing to explain the method, implying that the tracking system is opaque or suspicious. The meme is used to mock evasive corporate answers and vague proprietary data claims.
