Even Unity? Their CEO says half of all games are built on that. I imagine users would riot if most games were to simply disappear tomorrow.

Or more likely, since it’s Android, the first thing everybody would do is switch to the App store that has all the software they want, even though they know it’s bad.

[edit after reading more of the PDF]:

Yes, even Unity. Unity goes out of its way to get information that it does not have permission to acquire or transmit. It looks like knowledge of this is limited to a few developers who are "in the know" and I would not be surprised if Unity has given that info out to large licensees who have mentioned a need to uniquely identify players without permission.

There's something a lot of people don't know about Unity the company - they are awful. Difficult to work with, constant rumors about managerial scapegoating, questionable sales tactics.. the recent news about the allegations against the CEO didn't surprise me in the slightest.

I don't work with them closely, but I work with them closely enough that I've recommended that my employer cease all interaction with them, including further license purchases. That's how bad the taste in my mouth is after I deal with them interactively in any capacity.

I absolutely agree, and in my experience your list hardly scratches the surface. And awful not in the normal way that many large companies are awful.
