My thoughts on recent Unity news about their soon-to-be-enacted price change for developers using their platform.

Interesting response. I have to disagree about there being any hope of restoring trust, though. In any contract, when one party clearly believes that they have the power to retroactively (and probably illegally) change the terms without communication or negotiation, only a fool would ever trust them again.

As an end user, after their admission of installing spyware alongside the engine, I'm not interested in having Unity on my machine in any way. At least not until someone works out how to block it phoning home.

That's just the title of the blog post. Don't think that's OP.

For extra background here, Applovin is like the advertising competitor for unity in games and there's rumor Unity was going to wave some of the current pricing changes if devs switched from applovin to unity's own ( src ). They also tried to buy unity last year, but the deal didn't go through ( src )

Oh, thank you for the clarification
