Well good luck to Unity in fighting massive games like FGO or Genshin.

Don't let your kids grow up to be Unity developers.

TBH that’s a wild clause lol. Why? Most just say if you don’t like our new terms here’s the door. I don’t blame for deleting it, it’s unnecessarily dumb, but why even add that in the first place. It’s just going to be a nightmare to grandfather people as you move forward.

Honestly, so many epic fails.

I wonder if they realize the extent to which this disincentivizes upgrades to any newer form of Unity - and the newer license - even outside the rest of the recent drama.

It would take amazing changes to even consider giving this up - and at that point, it's a hop and a skip to a platform shift.

Any idea of why Unity did this?

I mean, they'll generate some short term cash, sure, but they just lost their entire customer base. No developer of any size can take on the liability and risk of working with Unity again, even if Unity realizes how badly they screwed this up and reverts this.

The current Unity-CEO is the Ex-CEO of Electronic Arts, under him EA was named "Worst Company in America" two consecutive times in 2012 and 2013 by Consumerist Magazine and he's on record saying that game devs that don't focus on microtransactions are "the biggest fucking idiots".

It doesn't matter for most devs, unless you don't support the game anymore, this doesn't help anything, at some point you will need an engine update to support new hardware, fix an engine bug or similar.
