No need for death threats. Unity already committed suicide.
Ouch.
I hope so, but frankly we'll just have to see. The people with the money and power usually win.
I imagine this policy will quietly be pulled with a statement about how due to "not expecting how unpopular the decision was"
As soon as they get a subpoena from... every AAA developer.
This would include Warner bros, as they own a video game Studio, in fact I believe Mortal Kombat 1 uses unity, and it's supposed to be what gets their Christmas bonus this year. They would be fools to not already have their people on the case.
What a grade A burn.
