Because developers totally saw something like this coming. 🙄

Because companies demanding more money from their customers for the same product is such a rare thing, right? Who could possibly have anticipated it!

Yes, retroactively changing ToSes to impose tyrannical taxes and fees that will bankrupt most users is, in fact, kind of a rare thing. The ruling class is usually a lot more subtle. And what they do is usually not so in-your-face that it is arguably illegal.

Victim blaming is not a good look for you.

Have you actually looked at what they're charging? Nobody is gonna be bankrupted. The pricing structure they announced guarantees the cut Unity takes is a tiny sliver of any developer's revenue unless they're literally only charging like $1 for their product in developing countries.

There are no victims in this story, and even if there were, what I said would not be victim blaming. Seriously, point to where I said developers were asking for it. You can't because I didn't, but you're so high on your own farts you can't read a single sentence without wildly misinterpreting it.
