If they kill Cult of the Lamb over this. There will no longer be any reason to live.
Can they go retroactively? Aren't there contracts?
You click a check box with a really long user agreement that does in fact allow them to make these changes.
Apparently they snuck a clause into an update to the ToS at some point, after years of saying they'd never do such a thing. So people agreed to a loophole without realizing. The legality of such a thing is highly questionable, hence the rumblings of potential lawsuits are already brewing.
For anyone interested to sign I found this petition against the new fee. https://chng.it/kYpqWBBHbB
Hoping with all the backlash Unity is forced to role it back. Thank you to everyone posting alternatives, I will be checking these out :)
Thoughts and prayers
Cult of the Lamb did come out and say they weren’t serious about delisting.
This is going to get so bad…Go godot.
Can Steam buy Unity and end this nightmare?
The only way I see Unity being saved is by developers buying it out, only to render it Open-Source. And for the purpose of an open-source 3D game engine, you've got Godot.
