Comment on Unity has changed its pricing model, and game developers are pissed off
Shiggles@sh.itjust.works 1 year agoIf by “scummy” you mean “questionably legal” (obligatory IANAL), then yeah.
I’m no legal expert, and I have no familiarity with Unity’s licensing terms.
So I didn’t want to outright call what they are doing illegal.
For all I know they did technically have a clause in their licensing agreement that allows them to do this. But that wouldn’t make it any less of a sum move imo.
I read in a other thread, that they’re not doing it retro actively on paper. Its part of the new terms for new licenses.
But since their licenses are perpetual and need to be renewed constantly, it will affect everyone when they hit the next cycle. Everything released afterwards is then affected. This even includes current projects in the works and even finished ones when you want to do a bug fix. That way, they seem to be “safe” to do that legally.
