    Existing games built on Unity will also be hit with Runtime Fees if they meet the thresholds starting January 1.

    How can you have a deal in place and just say “you’re giving me more money” and think that that’s ok?

    I am altering the deal, pray I don’t alter it any further. - Vader

      It used to be illegal. Part of anti-trust was forcing IP owners to license their technology to everyone at a reasonable price. That means that reddit’s API price gouging would also have been illegal and tesla and apple would have had to license their FSD and OS to other hardware manufacturers. This ability to control other companies through abusive pricing and licensing lock-in is classic monopoly violation that the govt has stopped policing.
