ok but you understand that despite the fact that they can’t, they’re going ahead and doing exactly that anyway? like that’s literally the situation, they’ve clarified that the only version of the licensing agreement is the current one and you’ve agreed to all future permutations of it the second you release something using Unity
your “but they can’t do that!!” protestations are irrelevant
WotC understands that if they destroy their cultural cachet they have no business model. They definitely want to suck more blood from their fans but they have to tread lightly. I don’t think Unity Technologies, and their fired-from-EA-for-ruining-the-business, notorious art hater, sex pest CEO John Riccitiello, have any idea that destroying developer goodwill will ruin them. Or maybe that’s the point! Pump and dump the whole thing.
I believe them completely when they say they’ve had this whole scheme vetted by legal and believe it holds water. All of the big players (Niantic, miHoYo, etc.) won’t be affected, it’s just AA and indie productions that will suffer - the ones who don’t have the money to fight a protracted legal battle with a giant corporate entity. Entire market categories within the Unity ecosystem just became nonviable.
