You're not wrong, but your rant seems completely unrelated and irrelevant to this post.

It's such a complicated situation that I'd be hesistant to endorse anything or anyone in this war. Nothing excuses the horrible terrorist attacks, but they're sort of the logical consequence of people living inside the living hell that Israel turned the Gaza strip into. Also letting everyone there, including innocent people, starve by blockading the area as well as calling them "human animals" is not exactly something I can get behind.

If they had initially introduced a normal revenue share system like they're offering now, very few people would have complained. I find the notion that this was all a deliberate move from Unity rather silly. The only thing it achieved was serious damage to their reputation (which wasn't great in the first place).

Eh, if you want a scapegoat you generally wouldn't use the CEO for that. Plus, he is known for pushing shady practices at EA as well, so I have no doubt he was a major driving force behind their original monetisation scheme. I don't think they will try the same thing again, as it was just a really dumb idea that wouldn't have made sense for anyone, including Unity themselves who don't even have a reliable method of tracking installs.

It's an indication that they realized that the direction they were attempting to take wasn't working. It's a step in the right direction.

Excellent, this makes me happy as a Unity dev.

What punishment apart from death penalty would you prescribe to these distinguished gentlemen who kill, rape & kill, torture innocent people in the name of God?

Ideally, give them a fair trial at either a regular court or as war criminals in The Hague. In most cases, this should result in life imprisonment.

It‘s in one of the randomly changing quotes, appeared for me after a couple of refreshes.

Most of the Western internet is blocked in China. It's almost more surprising it hasn't been so far.

Previous pixel phones got between 3 and 4 years of updates.

The issue is that those previous promises were for a very short support window

Not really. The previous phones already had a way longer support window than almost any other Android phones on the market, which mostly only get a year or so of updates. It's a defining feature of pixel phones.
