This is of course not including the yearly Unity subscription, where Unity Pro costs $2,040 per seat (although they may have Enterprise pricing)

Absolutely ridiculous. Many Unity devs are saying they're switching engines on social media.

Shareholder greed is astounding

🤔 So what's stopping people from simply making games under the free license and selling them anyway without paying Unity ridiculous taxes and fees?

Also now would be a great time to just use Godot and be done with it.

Licenses and copyright laws. When you make a game with Unity, you're using proprietary code from Unity which has a license stating that the free version can only be used under certain circumstances. You'd be braking this license agreement if you distribute a game outside those conditions
