This is of course not including the yearly Unity subscription, where Unity Pro costs $2,040 per seat (although they may have Enterprise pricing)

Absolutely ridiculous. Many Unity devs are saying they're switching engines on social media.

Can you still sell the games you've made on unity if you don't have an active sub or will you have to delist them?

You only need the sub to develop/update it

That's still pretty awful really. If I have a game that's halfway through development as a developer I am now disincentivized to finish it. They are changing the terms halfway through development.

January 1st isn't exactly a lot of warning.

This would be borderline acceptable if we'd been given 6 months warning not 1 and 1/2 months
