I don't think they can come back from this. Everyone knows they will try again, just slow enough to not make big headlines. Unity is just too risky now that they showed their hand. I mean, its a former EA executive FFS.
If they didn't completely delete the new fees, they can still eat shit.
Well, this seems like a relief since it may mean that games that have been released already or are works in progress won’t be greatly affected. Hopefully it means that more devs will move from Unity for their next project.
Saw a bunch of people singing praises for them on the Twitter thread, real shame. Hopefully people move away from the abusive relationship that is Unity.
