I'm not saying I would be justified yo make death threats about this, since as you say this doesn't really concern me personally and I have not made any. I'm just saying that people who get hurt by this have the full moral right to do this if they go down that path.
Also I'm really not buying this "Even greedy leechlike corporate suits still have the right to feel safe when doing decisions that will fuck over countless of of live and make society all the worse for it" line of argument that you are pushing between the lines. Violence is not just when somebody bleeds, you know and this is just response one one kind of violence with other type of violence. And this is not just a provider charging for a product. Many people get hurt by this and years of their lives might go to waste. And for what? Corporate greed, it's not like unity is fucking struggling themselves and they need the cashflow. What they needed was bigger margins.
You really just base you sense of justice on legality. You really would just watch as landlords increase rents for 200% just for greed and watch people go homeless and then feel smugly superior when you condemn and report said homeless for throwing shit in the windows of the landlords. A Tennant might even have the chance to move elsewhere. Unity devs might not have such a easy path out.
You really are a awful person without a heart. Call me a psycopath all you like.
And you can't see that violence is not just when somebody bleeds. Also you really can't imagine that anything that isn't legal is a justified action to a wrongdoing.
just wondering, what is your opinion of Palestine struggle against Israeli encroachment and occupation of their lands? ๐
If you starting point is "it's just money lol", then beside your general screwed sense of justice this is another major problem in you thinking. Many people have made it blatantly clear that this is not just some price increase that devs can just wave away. It can cause cost of millions to devs at worse and that's bad if you have a tight and fixed budget and you are years in development. It's also a breach trust that will make nobody want to use unity ever again and that's bad when people have sometimes invested their lives in it. That's bad for Unity too yes, but it's bigger that just one company. I have already told you this and why I sympathise with the devs.
