Well Unity Made a announcement to make Devs pay per Download and many devs straight up said their games will be deleted the day these changes are made.
Reddit didn’t retroactively try to steal money from developers. Also a game engine doesn’t need a community to exist, it just needs to be good, a community is helpful but not required.
I’ve hated Unity since its buggy trash first showed up in flash games Sure they ironed out the bugs and it went mainstream, but I never forgot how it shouldered it’s way into the picture. Now it’s pulling this shit and I’ve got that inevitable mixture of smug and disgusted that accompanies the all-to-familiar experience of “I said this was a bad idea but did anybody listen to me? Nope.”
Actual awnser?

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! Unless you have anything to do with Unity, because there are no winners in this shitshow.
Oh, Unity will lose too.
Somehow, I keep remembering Reddit.

I mean, reddit retroactively stole money from redditors. Any gold/coins you paid for? Gone. Why? Because.
It needs devs to be usefull
If it’s good, it will generally develop a community around it anyway.
This is reddit api Desaster but worse.
Unity will lose way, way more than Reddit.
Almost certainly so. Unity is threatening to bankrupt their customers, while Reddit only did it to some value-adding third parties.
Reddit famously doing red numbers since the API change.
Oh really? Do you happen to have a link I’m curious.
And they tried to pivot by saying it would be by device forcing devs to collect and share their users’ data.
Wich is a violation of EUs GDPR…
