The “first official Unity user group in the world” has announced that it is dissolving after 13 years because “the trust we used to have in the company has been completely eroded.” The move comes as many developers are saying they will continue to stay away from the company’s products even after last week’s partial rollback of some of the most controversial parts of its fee structure plans.

      Was there even any short-term gain this time? Next company to try this will probably give much less notice if legally allowed.

    Why wiuld any companies trust them at this point…bail, let unity die and set a precedent to other engines to not fuck with the companies that make the products.

    I just wish collectively humanity could do the same for these multi billionaire companies who will kill you to make 10 cents profit.
