    Good God, what an arsehole.

    We apologize for the confusion…

    Confusion? No, there was no confusion. You announced a policy that was terrible, but there was nothing confusing about it, it was just stupid. I wasn’t at all confused you condescending twat, I fully understood what was being announced, as did everyone else, hence the backlash.

      The article says it best:

      Developers remain critical of this latest statement from Unity. “There wasn’t any ‘confusion’,” said Trent Kusters of Jumplight Odyssey studio League of Geeks. “In fact, the exact opposite is the concerning issue here; That we all, very clearly, understood the devastating impact and anti-developer sentiment of your new pricing model far better than you ever did (or cared to) before rolling it out.”

      We were confused about how much backlash there would be. We didn’t think it would hurt our bottom line this much. Sorry for the confusion.

      You know a significant number of devs will be OK with Unity’s statement and stick with them. Unity won’t learn their lesson. They’ll just be sneakier

        Yeah ok. It doesn’t affect me, I won’t be using them, but what other people choose to do is their problem.
