WTF. Luckily it isn't an issue for me right now, but I guess I won't be using Unity in future like I once thought I might.
I couldn't find it in the article, but I assume this is only going forward and not somehow retroactive? Lots of amazing indie titles I've played run on Unity.
It is just going forward starting Jan 1 I think
If so, at least anyone whose project was completed beforehand can be grandfathered out of the new arrangement.
That really sucks for new projects, though. A few months is not going to be enough time for a lot of projects out there.
AFAIK this applies retroactively.
Unfortunately, I was just coming back to comment this myself, and link this: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/09/unity-attempt-to-clarify-new-install-fees-as-developers-revolt/
