Comment on Unity Silently Deletes GitHub Repo that Tracks Terms of Service Changes and Updated Its License
Snarwin@kbin.social 9 months agoUnity licenses are sold as a subscription. When the subscription runs out, you either have to renew it and accept the new terms, or lose the license and stop distributing your game.

Okay, so even assuming that's the case, "stopping distribution" is different than "we're gonna charge you for installs of copies you've already sold". Still not seeing how that's legal.

Naturally they only get to charge for already-sold copies if you accept the new terms that include the charges. As for how it's legal to include those charges in the new terms to begin with, I guess you'd have to ask a contract lawyer. Presumably Unity's own lawyers are convinced they can get away with it, or they wouldn't have done it.
