I mean, they have to.

But honestly at this point that’s not even enough. You know they tried, you know whatever need for cash they were trying to fulfill remains. It’s one thing to let that go when buying a piece of software that you just… have, but building an entire business on top of this middleware and knowing you have a business relationship with them indefinitely as a result?

At this point it’s a dealbreaker. You can’t trust them again. If I start a new dev studio tomorrow Unity would not even be in the running to start choosing an engine. They made themselves into a liability overnight. It’s stunning. I don’t know what the hell they’re putting in the filtered, flavored water they sell to executives, but this year has been an endless chain of self-immolation I had never witnessed before.
