I'm donating $5, not much but I love to see companies like Unity burn.
Unity’s take is 2.5% past $1m in revenue.
I’m never, ever going to hit those numbers, but if do, I’d rather willingly commit that 2.5% to Godot.
Is that before or after they backtracked?
The point isn't even whether the terms are acceptable anymore. They tried to change the deal retroactively because they felt they had a strong position in that game developers are already invested into their ecosystem.
They may have gone back to saner terms for now but unless the entire management structure resigns, there's no reason not to say they won't try again in the future.
You can't go good business with bad people.
It doesn't even matter of their management as a whole changes. No matter who it is, what matters are their actions going forward. The only way to get out of the hole they dug themselves in is years of sitting around being good.
I'm honestly surprised that I have not seen by now a meme pic of Darth Vader telling Lando that the deal is being changed, but the face of Darth Vader is instead the CEO of Unity.
