Unity announces its revamped pricing model | After outcry from the gaming community, Unity revealed a new plan that’s a drastic departure from what was initially announced.::Unity has introduced a revamped version of its new pricing model. The updated pricing scheme arrives a little more than a week after the disastrous original announcement that infuriated developers.
Lol it’s not a “drastic departure”. All they did was to remove some of the passages that were dubiously legal, effectively unenforceable, or both. They also didn’t address the sketchy anticompetitive (and probably illegal) fee vouchers that were clearly an attempt to sink AppLovin, nor did they say anything about the sneaky license change they made a while ago to enable this whole snafu. The exec team, who are the ones who pushed this whole clusterfuck, are not going anywhere, and will probably try something stupid like this in the future.
Unity’s fucked. They’ve established that they’re unconcerned with business ethics, and are clearly willing to operate in bad faith towards business partners. They have destroyed any real trust the industry had in them. You can’t buy that back.
