I don't see how anyone can expect to trust them now.

Unity invested a lot in the game engine battle. They loose it and now they need to get cash back.

Doing the dickest move possible reveal they totally abandoned any long term plan.

Let's not keep our expectation for a brighter future too high. UE is now in a dominant position and also have a lot of cash to get back. It will surely be smoother, but still, the time of affordable AAA game engine will slow down.

Godot is going to see a massive migration, I can already feel it. No huge company behind it, waiting to do a rugpull.
