I will be incredibly shocked if they come out of this alive. How's that old saying go? "Trust takes years to build and seconds to break." I wouldn't touch Unity for a new project now, especially since corporate America has demonstrated so many times as a culture that when they do something, get backlash, and back off, it's extremely rarely a permanent back-off; they just do it again, get smaller backlash, back off, do it again, smaller, back off until they've gone through enough news cycles that nobody gives a shit, and then do what they wanted to do anyway.
And even more than that: that their management structure saw this as anything besides shooting developer trust in it's head and watching it hit the ground paints a picture of leadership that is astonishingly out of touch with their customers, to a degree rarely seen even lately. How do you know so little about the people you're selling to where this looks like anything but the worst idea in their company's history?
