  Asks a question and absorbs none of the information given. No point in further discussion

  There’s a lot of things it affects. But lets stick with the self serving perspective of your question “How does this affect* me buying discounted games”. You personally? Not much, the impact is relatively tame… for now. An aspect that you failing to consider is that devs could raise price of games to offset the cost of the Unity price model change. Sure you could wait for a discount. Safe to say we all appreciate a good discount every now and again. But I encourage you think about that “one” game on your wishlist “If it was just 20% less then I would buy it” But that 20% doesn’t end up happening because of the fact that even during this hypothetical sale the devs are still trying to offset the Unity cost. Additionally you failing to consider is that Unity is an incredibly popular starting point for many new devs because of the tooling it has available, many popular titles were started by these indie devs. Games that wouldn’t ever have been created because those people wouldn’t have ever gotten started if they didn’t use Unity.

  Newsflash the Unity drama as a whole still affects the PC market

  I can’t personally speak on the banking side. e/os has micro g implemented now, and on my device it passes the safety checks associated with it. To be fair though I can’t give a full endorsement for how well micro g works as a whole (I’m not logged in) In general I’ve shifted to FOSS apps so my sample size for google play services reliant apps is limited but the one’s I have used, open fine without annoying pop up errors.

  As someone that happens to using e/os on a phone with an unofficial device. You are technically correct. They offer custom Roms for a variety of devices that you can install however they also have their own range of devices which admittedly is lack luster in terms of price to performance. From what I gather those devices try to follow in the footsteps of the Fairphone but with all the growing pains of a startup… I like the os. they offer cloud services as an addon that you can pay for which is based on nextcloud. The integration with the cloud services in surprisingly deep. Coming back to the fact that its based on nextcloud you also have the option to self host (which I recommend) and still benefit from the tight integration and that aspect alone is a major reason why I’m still using it. Gallery, notes,backups,cloud storage. All the Google like service’s built in but without the Google
