MODERATORS
Not even their fanbase in this scenario, but the majority of their paying business customers. Pissing off your fanbase/hobbyists is one thing, but completely alienating your biggest profit generating consumers is just beyond incompetent.
Minor quibble that game devs are actually a smaller fraction of their overall revenues, as their tech has uses far beyond games. They have industrial product lines too.
Kinda like how Amazon's main thing isn't selling shippable products anymore, it's cloud computing and digital infrastructure. Or was last I checked anyway, it might've changed again.
You're otherwise totally right though.
Ahh, I always forget that Unity has industrial product services/solutions, that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying that!
And yes, AWS is Amazon's bread and butter (unfortunately). I can only hope that one day they're completely dethroned, but I doubt anyone could ever compete with them and Microsoft at this point (and even if a startup managed to make a vastly superior product, either of those two would just buy them out anyway). I think even Google's cloud service is only a fraction of what AWS and Azure pull in, I could be wrong though.
