    Unity actually had a TOS in action that protected Developers

    No it didn’t. It just had words that pretended tk protect developers. TOS are meaningless for anyone other than the service when they can change at will.

      Yea, they are useless when being changed at will, but what if the TOS specifically said “You can disregard future TOS versions and still abide by this old one under certain circumstances” ?
      You would still be complying with the Terms of Service, by not honoring the new Terms of Service.

      Obviously, this is still a terrible situation regardless, but I am thinking about if the old TOS won’t give already released games a way out of this BS, or even better, may keep a usable Unity version alive for the future. Long term obviously, as many people as possible should ditch unity entirely, but for right now, it looks like a lot of developers will have big trouble starting in just 3 months.
