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.
It may not get sick, but it does hallucinate. ;)

Its like fighting Amazon. They kick you off the affiliate program and to fight you start with arbitration ($2000). And lose your ability for Prime shipping, movies, music and stuff. It's like impossible to fight these big dogs
As a small dog, you're much better off going to arbitration than into an actual courtroom.
some of those companies that are at the bottom of this letter, are one of the worst i've ever seen. many of them are known to just copy other indie games, and just heavily monetize them.
I only recognize one of the company listed, for exactly the same reason you described. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voodoo_(company)#Criticism

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.

to unilaterally and retroactively change the pricing model? I very much doubt it
For a licensing agreement to change the model and price going forward with 90 day notice, why would t it be?
> if the Updated Terms adversely impact your rights, you may elect to continue to use any current-year versions of the Unity Software (e.g., 2018.x and 2018.y and any Long Term Supported (LTS) versions for that current-year release) according to the terms that applied just prior to the Updated Terms (the “Prior Terms”). The Updated Terms will then not apply to your use of those current-year versions unless and until you update to a subsequent year version of the Unity Software (e.g. from 2019.4 to 2020.1).

Bethesda has a game engine? I thought their games were run by a 1000 year old abacus.
Starfield engine is pretty good: https://youtu.be/neO-Bl7g9-U
Bethesda is making the same game in a different package ever since Oblivion.
On the bright side, issues like this bring more attention and appreciation to open platforms.
