What I'm amazed by is that Unity didn't just double down, they tripled by invoking that Microsoft/Sony/Epic who act as store fronts for the games will handle the fees, if Unity games are part of subscription services/giveaways etc.

Yeah, this is playing out as expected....

Unity shuts two offices, citing threats after controversial pricing changes

It's horrible they are getting threats, but unfortunately, none too surprising.

It’s great to see developers threaten to pull their games before this goes into effect.

What a waste. Burn all your good will for nothing. So pointless and so familiar.

Indeed they did. Some resignations already submitted and more reportedly to come today.

So very familiar in the video game industry.

Either a sign of a growing toxic workplace culture, or a false flag operation to avoid the townhall they had programed for later today. I mean, from their lousy twitter responses, it is obvious it wasn't going to go well.
