IANAL but isn't this what we have an FTC for? It feels like pretty blatantly unfair business dealings, particularly the fact that it's retroactive
Literally "I am altering the deal, pray I do not alter it any further"

I hope so, but if it’s likely to get smacked down by the FTC, it’s unlikely Unity would try this path. I’m sure this has been in the works for a long time and all the backlash was anticipated - they just expect huge profits on the other side.
We'll see I guess! But even if it's not illegal the shortsightedness is staggering, which makes me question if leadership would have even foreseen legal problems
I think this is called a single round game. They screw everyone over and will never be trusted again, but get a one time payout in the process. It just seems like a company of Unity’s scale must have a better plan than that.

The FTC and other such agencies won’t do shit because corporations are the highest authority in the US.
Every once in a while they’ll pick a “sacrificial lamb” for a slap on the wrist and call it a day.
Naw bruh. They killed the regulatory state. It's too late.
