    They expect Game Pass titles to have their bill footed by Microsoft.

    There’s kicking the nest, and then there’s kicking the fucking queen bee.

      Honestly the most credible theory I can come up with for why Unity is doing this is that it’s an attempt to force MS to acquire them to stop the effect this BS will have on gamepass and C#

      Either microsoft buys them, or they simply stop putting unity games on gamepass.

      Can’t see them paying it (or on what basis, since MS don’t have a contract with unity in the first place).
