    Plus on top of all the other subscription fees.

    it’s not even really about the money, even if it will fuck the devs and ruin projects and lives, but the breach of trust and a mark that more shit is probably on it’s way if this goes through. Unity owns a ecosystem that many people depend on and now they really start squeezing. It’s not right.

    This is why things that act as commons should be either nationalised or replaced with free software.

      I agree. This dipping of fingers into the pockets of devs errodes trust.
