I'm generally a bit weary of the sunk cost fallacy being absolute.

I think, in most cases it will be though. Furthermore, I think a developer needs to do a cost analysis to know for sure. They should include the consideration that if Unity get away with this AND it makes them more money, they will gouge for more.

For any new developer, this has to be a huge red flag.
