So do game developers have lobbyists to ban this shit?
It's already illegal, so it's not like it needs any banning.
Wait, it is?
As far as I know, and as far as I've seen in other discussions, they are essentially changing the terms of service of signed contracts unilaterally, which in many places should be an instant lose if taken to court.
Edit: forgot a word
I think Unity would be the one losing in court, especially since they changed the terms of service right before making this change, which is applied retroactively. That's not how a contract works.
I can't just write "Btw the house is being given free of charge from the bank to the tenant" on my lease to get rid of my mortgage
Yeah yeah, that's exactly the point.
With your own example, the bank can't just come one day and say "btw, the house you bought 10 years ago? Yeah, we just decided that it's price is now double, so you owe us for the 10 years you paid half of what you should"
