Hold on, is that for real? Like, for Unity games developed years (maybe over a decade) ago, developers would need to start to pony up if they’re installed now?

Do we have a “Stallman was right” community here on Lemmy yet?
Not equivalent unless you pay a yearly subscription for your door. Unity is a subscription and so terms can be changed. It sucks but we need to ween off the subscriptions or this will keep happening.
