  We don’t know if they can do it. They walked their plan back before it could be tested in court. There’s a very good chance that what they were doing (particularly their changing the terms of an agreement without any action from the other parties) was illegal.

    Imagine if Microsoft did the same thing with Windows? Allowing software companies to just suddenly change the rules like that could be a terrible precedent. They would probably get hit with antitrust for like the 50th time since they opened their doors.

    If the software would not be propietary, game studios could patch versions they already have so Unity won’t be tamptes to mess with it.
