Cue the legal action in 3... 2... 1... Unity's public statements have been that they are zero fee, that developers can count on license agreement as of when they engage Unity, etc. They've induced a reliance upon having a no-fee (no royalty fee or royalty-adjacent fee) upon thousands and thousands of developers, who published games upon that reliance, and now they want to change the terms essentially retroactively? The court case will be massive, and in all likelihood these changes are going to be on ice pending resolution of that court case (probably imposed by the court itself, maybe by Unity unilaterally). There is no good outcome for them, or their executives who had to know what a shitstorm this would create (optically and legally), and who apparently dumped their stock in anticipation of the announcement of these changes.
