Because companies demanding more money from their customers for the same product is such a rare thing, right? Who could possibly have anticipated it!

Have you actually looked at what they're charging? Nobody is gonna be bankrupted. The pricing structure they announced guarantees the cut Unity takes is a tiny sliver of any developer's revenue unless they're literally only charging like $1 for their product in developing countries.

There are no victims in this story, and even if there were, what I said would not be victim blaming. Seriously, point to where I said developers were asking for it. You can't because I didn't, but you're so high on your own farts you can't read a single sentence without wildly misinterpreting it.
