    I don't think it's possible yet, but wouldn't it be handy to be able to purchase assets from Assets Store using unpaid Ads revenue?

    I mean "UnityAds Unpaid Earnings". Money you earn from displaying unity ads within your game that still waiting to get transferred to your bank.

    That seems like it borders just enough on the concept of company scrip that it might be super illegal.

    It seems a sensible idea. While Unity still have your money, let you spend that money with Unity. It saves on transaction costs, and delays waiting for money before spending it.

    The would also be great for spending Unity Ads money on Unity Ads. This allows developers to act quickly on a successful game without having to go to the services that will give you an advance on the ad money you are earning to spend on more ads.

    AFAIK there are complex legal issues and rules related of having a credit based system tied on to multiple systems and subsidiaries so it might not be worth it to support such thing. I think Unity ads is still based in Finland as its own subsidiary(?) while Asset store is the main company in Denmark.

    This.
    If funds were never transferred to your LLC bank acount, this would probably count as downplaying income to avoid taxes where I live.
