Yeah. They still *have* the runtime fee in their terms, so they are further towards what they said originally then where they were before.

From here, they can just gradually walk things back towards what they originally announced.

@gamingonlinux Now that there is a friendly deal in place people will defend Unity and fight amongst themselves, it was obvious what was going to happen

@gamingonlinux
I think all this does is buy time so Unity can boil the frog back to something close to their desired terms.

I don't think they'll try the retroactive BS again because I honestly don't think that'll pass legal muster in most jurisdictions, but I expect them to otherwise inch back towards what they want.

I do think this will help projects currently in the works, but I still wouldn't recommend Unity for new projects anymore.

@gamingonlinux Yeah I think they’ve permanently damaged trust in the community over this one.

I think the amended deal they put on the table is quite a lot better, but it doesn’t change the fact that they basically tried to stab developers in the back and hope nobody would notice.

I strongly suspect we are going to start seeing more studios switch to Godot, Unreal, or MonoGame from this.

@gamingonlinux Personally I can't help feeling this was all a big corporate game to make money off shorting their own stock at the expense of everything and everyone else. Feels overly conspirical (not a word😂) and cynical of me but hey it's not like we live in that type of world......oh.....
