Is their trust broken forever or is there any chance for redemption?
Not while the current management is in place and that will not change, so the first one.

- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Yeah you nailed it with that comment.
Unity Technologies went public back in late 2020.
The creators/venture capital funders got their payday and the MBA's are now in charge as the company must keep increasing profit every quarter...forever.
They cannot/will not change course now.
Is their trust broken forever or
Yes.
is there any chance for redemption?
No.
Anyone that trusts unity after this will get exactly what they deserve next time greed make unity put thier privates in a vice to squeeze out more profit with unreasonable terms then half backpeddle to less insane but still obviously unpopular changes.
I hope this reduces Unity to perpetual irrelevance, but I fear it might not.
It won't, but hopefully people looking to get into game development are more hesitant to pick Unity. If people aren't learning Unity in school or on personal time, the work force for it's going to shrink, and it'll eventually fade to nothing.
This doesn't even need to be a boycott. Just a negative suggestion will slowly wile away the numbers, as their engine fails to innovate, gets outpaced by competitors, and lives in the shadow of its former self, entirely thanks to Unity Technologies making the biggest PR disaster I've seen this month.
lol there's no redemption
Red Dead Redemption 3
Fuck them. I hope everyone for whom it is feasible switches to something like Godot.
Short of an "Act of God", Unity has no chance at redemption lol.
