Our Unity rep has been applying a ton of pressure to purchase more licenses and I've heard similar stories from other companies.
I think Unity has some bad financials right now and are pressing every part of the business to generate more revenue.
I don't think this was some grand scheme - I think they're panicking about money and acting without thinking through the long term consequences of their actions.

- hapticmonkey 3y agoBad financials? Maybe they should stop making multi-billion dollar acquisitions, then.
