It is a bit daft to suggest that unity developers are customers. They're not customers they're other businesses.

When EA mess up and then make a non apology it is to publicate their customers. They hope it works and that people forgive them until the next screw up.

But with unity it's a business relationship, saying "oops our bad, now we're listening to you" isn't going to cut it. It's somewhat daft to suggest that it would, they tried to change the nature of pre-arranged agreements. You can't have that in a business relationship that's toxic to into business operations. All the businesses can't take the risk anymore.

The risk of forgiving EA is that their crap again the risk of forgiving unity is that they bankrupt you, your business, and could put an unknown people who work for you out of a job, it hits a bit different.

So I learned today that publicate is a word, a transitive verb, but did you mean placate?

Either way you contributed to me learning something new, so thank you!
