    What does this mean for the engine itself? Can we expect significant improvements in their multi-player functionality?

    Is this online service becoming some kind of "Xbox Live" for Unity games, where players have to pay a monthly fee to Unity Technologies to be able to play in multi-player using their online service(s)?
