Ngl I was expecting them to walk it back a bit. It’s a tactic to announce something so absolutely absurd that it makes what you actually want to do look more reasonable. I’m still not gonna touch unity again
Yeah, it’s not a great tactic because even if you walk it back and always intended to. People who take what you say at face value are left thinking that’s what you wanted to do and might still want to do it if you can manage the PR better in the future. And the people who figure out what you were really doing see that you will lie to manipulate the reaction to what you really want to do.
Targeting installs (which based on another article with their wording they still intend to do, just with an asterisk now) was a bad approach. They should set up different payment options for the new subscription service model rather than try to fit one solution to two wildly different customer models.
This is absolutely true. I was left with a disgusted feeling towards Unity that translates to disgust and disappointment. I don’t think I can trust them again after this.

its a toss up that theyll even do that these days though.
companies are so bold now knowing theres a strong chance theyll get away with whatever bullshit while losing minimal consumers.
It doesn’t matter, they’ve shown their hand.
If not now, then when?

That is used in politics all the time, want to rise the retirement age to 65? Just propose it to raise it to 70 and the compromise in 65.
