Can we see a screenshot or some other confirmation that this happened?

Not saying it didn't, but it'd be a great way to tank a competitor's business if it were fake. I wanna be sure before I get a pitchfork out.

To the extent this is legitimate, it definitely seems like grounds for a lawsuit. IANAL, so can't say if it'd succeed, but I am not convinced the last-minute EULA change would save them.

Thank you!

This is definitely unacceptable. Are you considering legal action?

Agreed, this is a crazy outcome. I don't actually use the engine; I evaluated it a while ago for hobby projects but never went beyond that. So this doesn't directly affect me.

Aside from second hand copies of the email, you can see that nearly all links to ourmachinery.com now 404.

They deleted everything besides the frontpage and EULA page, a shame since their blog was a good resource.
