How could they possibly have done that? Dont they have a EULA that users have to consent to? At least the PR disaster raise a big red flag.

- phpisthebest 3y ago>>Dont they have a EULA Most EULA's say "we can change this when ever we want... " so likely they were banking on that. Most EULA's in a sane legal system would be considered unconscionable contracts and thus unenforceable, unfortunately the US Legal system is far from sane, That said, I am sure they heard from lawyers at major studios who said "yea try to retro active bill us and we will bankrupt you in legal fees" so they changed their tune.
- mcv 3y agoFrom what I understand, their original terms said explicitly that they wouldn't retroactively change those terms. And then they did. It's not something that's likely to hold up in court, but it's not like small developers can afford to defend themselves in court. Small developers depend on trust, and Unity destroyed that trust. Even if current projects can now continue under the original terms, no sane small developer will ever trust them again.
