Unity’s Disunity

What the heck is Unity?
Unity is a leading game development platform, once revered for its royalty-free engine. Used by major, minor, indie, and hobbyist game creators across the industry.

What did Unity change?
Unity announced a fee of up to $0.20 for every new install of Unity projects, affecting even pre-existing projects.

Why are people upset?
The change, seen as a breach of trust, has disillusioned many developers attracted by its royalty-free model.

What has happened since the change was announced?
Amidst a fierce backlash and public criticism from prominent game developers, Unity closed two offices temporarily due to threats, highlighting the profound impact of their decision.
