So it seems they're going all in on mobile gaming, and similar tech, as in, lots of microtransactions. I figured as much, so screw 'em.
Makes sense considering the current Unity CEO is a former EA CEO who pushed hard for micro transactions.
They've been all in for about half a decade. If you don't work in mobile, or play a lot of mobile games, you might not have noticed - but basically the most played games on planet earth are made in Unity, and are on mobile.
It's sad to say this, but their actions this past week have kind of shown us that the folk at Unity don't even seem to care about other platforms anymore; to the point that they did not even consider them on a basic level while working on their new pricing policies.
They should just either rebrand to a mobile first company, or at least split their products such that those making pc/console games can argue for their own price points and features.
Ridiculous to lump indie devs and mobile companies like hyper casual devs (who can have 5 million+ installs a game, thanks to their low CPIs and marketing optimizations) into the same category.
