Why stay at all whether they revert it or not? They're egregiously incompetent and if they've done this sort of thing once, they're going to do it again. Developers should go where their support will help make something better (Godot) and not stick with the crusty old Unity hag that is constantly pawing at their pockets hoping for the jingle of coins.

Cause it's probably not worth it for them to migrate and learn/train on a new engine unless Unity goes forward with their plans.

But you're right, this completely destroyed Unity's reputation. Even if they revert, who's to say they won't try something like this in the future.

This is the classic tactic of doing something just to see if people will accept it. Even if they backtrack, they absolutely WILL do shit like this again. It's just like EA and micro transactions
