Garry Newman: The new Unity pricing would have cost him $410,000 of lifetime revenue (i.vgy.me)

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.

It's a truly horrible chain of events. Unity has been continually scaling back it's development objectives, canning their developer game samples and overall it feels like they're struggling.

While overall I'm fairly happy with Unity as a game engine, I'm not happy with Unity as a company, which seems to prioritize the strangest things while features and optimisations seem to languish

Unity was never profitable, so this makes sense
