SpatialOS streaming Unity seems broadly equivalent to AWS hosting MongoDB. Especially in that it undermines Unity’s (i.e. Mongo’s) ability to sell a hosted equivalent product (whether or not that exists yet) and it leverages some of Unity’s value into rent for Improbable. Now there’s a difference in that SpatialOS is adding meaningful value - but it’s not necessarily their’s to take.
Ultimately this is Unity’s platform and they control it and its future direction. I suspect that more value can be delivered to both parties if they reach an agreement - SpatialOS is really cool! What we’re seeing here is presumably a strong negotiation tactic from Unity - they want to continue to own the relationship with their own customers - hopefully we’ll see some kind of agreement in the future.
