According to an anonymous source from Unity, people within the company are “furious,” and internal discussions before the announcement highlighted many of the issues that developers are now criticizing.
In response to the backlash, Unity has stated on Twitter that it is “actively listening to and following your questions closely,” suggesting that the company may be open to further discussions or adjustments in response to developer feedback. The controversy surrounding this change highlights the challenges of balancing revenue generation with the needs and concerns of the indie game development community, which plays a vital role in the gaming industry’s diversity and innovation.
