I'm warming up to the idea of there being some kind of barrier to entry to this industry. One that disincentives low-effort cash-grabs.
If those companies would disappear overnight, it would be a positive outcome for humanity. I guess there are upsides to Unity's insanity after all.

They're not, it's just that (unfortunately for all of us here) it's shrinking to more normal dimensions now that it's no longer being watered by a ceaseless flow of money.
Which prompts a thought...
I'm sure there are much better reasons for dependency on a video game foundation. But -- seeing other aspects of ordinary software development practice (e.g., ridiculously unnecessary massive complexity, numerous shoddy SaaSes, and hundreds of unvetted JS or Python package dependencies casually pulled in) -- I wonder how much of the video game dependency decisions similarly have little thought put into them? Or are video game developers smarter than most other developers?
Can Unity make such a change retroactively? If the terms were different when you made your game can they can force a per install fee now legally?
In EU it's indeed illegal and in 90% of EU countries it won't even go to court. But they can probably force you to not upgrade anything cause of licensing of the new software or if you upgrade they'll make you pay fees from that moment onwards. But in US im pretty sure it is open for the legal battle that will cost tons of cash for both sides.

Now that companies have their golden goose, they no longer need plain humans. After all, A.I. does not eat, it doesn't sleep and it does not get sick.

This is the US, the only way you find out is by spending millions in a legal battle, during which they might very well disable your game remotely (and get fined for that too after, if you still exist then).
But they could kill your license so you won't be able to build your game using their tool anymore (however you could also just grab a new license under a different name).
What I wonder tho is if they are going to go to the length of asking platform holder like Apple / Google to delist your game and would they actually comply with Unity on this?

Those dimensions are becoming ever smaller with the advancement of A.I. Now that companies have their golden goose, they no longer need plain humans. After all, A.I. does not eat, it doesn't sleep and it does not get sick.
