  There is a reason. The current CEO is EA’s former CEO. Dude was kicked out of EA for pulling something similar.

      He was kicked out of EA. Even EA isn’t this bad lol. Seriously, while EA has had some controversies with nickle and diming, have they ever retroactively started making things cost money?

        EA realised that it would be illegal and would get them sued. This guy is a didn’t ask the lawyers or didn’t listen to the lawyers.

        A contract, is a contract, is a contract. You can’t change it halfway through without getting confirmation from all parties, and obviously they haven’t got that

  Unity do not suffer financial hit just because someone installs the game.

  They don’t host the code. You use their code but the code itself is hosted by the likes of Valve or Microsoft or Sony. So no they have no legitimate reason, other than they like money and they reckon this will generate them some.
