Great news in some ways. Unity has been on a poor path for some time, boiling the frog in the pot. But with a move so egregious, it's much harder to sweep it under the rug and keep going.<p>Also good news for game engines that treating their communities with due respect. Unity has been called dead a number of times, but now they have fucked with people's wallets in a way that totally eroded trust. Unity the company is a busines liability now. No one with any sense would accept that risk over the other great engine options available.<p>Sure the other engines coule pull a similar move, but only Unity has proven that they will actually do it.
