This is of course not including the yearly Unity subscription, where Unity Pro costs $2,040 per seat (although they may have Enterprise pricing)

Absolutely ridiculous. Many Unity devs are saying they're switching engines on social media.

This is the java business model, there's two ways it could go: total flop, everyone hates it and because video games aren't as deeply entrenched as legacy codethe java business model won't work. OR the Java business model works great and there's now a 10% unity tax passed on to the consumers
