YouTube Unity dev channel CodeMonkey just did an excellent summary of the revised TOS changes.

I have linked to his interactive exploration of their fee calculator, which should set many "what if" scenarios to rest.

Nobody can really say anything educated about the long-term impact on trust, but I suspect that if they can Riccitello things will return to something of a baseline and nobody will be talking about it in a year.

I trully cannot fathom Riccitello's tenure remaining viable on the other side of this. He is a dead man walking, corporately speaking.

I'm reminded of a favorite allegory which seems perfect for today:

New CEO walks into her office just as the old CEO is leaving. Old CEO says congrats and good luck; I left you three sealed envelopes which you should open in times of crisis.

Things go well until they don't. First letter says "blame your predecessor".

This fixes things until the next crisis. Second letter says "blame the technology".

Nothing could go wrong, until it does. Third letter says "write three letters".
