I still can't believe that retroactive fees like that are legal.

They aren’t and likely won’t hold up in court.

Gotta pay the lawyers to go to court though.

Hope enough teams can band together and file jointly, combined with decent fundraising and fair lawyers.

Fuck these Unity execs and their ilk. I guess they need more motivation to run a business properly, and not be rampaging sociopaths and enshittification experts. Perhaps some lawyers and lawmakers can offer them some humiliation and fear of personally feeling the consequences of their actions.

Because they’re not charging for previous installs, not new ones, and they operate technically on a free “subscription” model it’s going to be hard to challenge legally
