Yeah. But they entirely reversed that part and also the new fees/royalty scheme is perfectly reasonable cost wise

Well again the current model is basically identical to Unreal (besides the per seat license) just considerably cheaper.

Of course the real issue is that they believed that they could actually pull that off in the first place and the trust issue stemming from that. At least they got rod off Riccitelo but AFAIK most the of remaining (extremely incompetent) upper management team is still there..

Goodwill and stability have a value too. If it were me and I was in the position where the retracted changes would have endangered my business, I would have at least someone working to ensure that we could pivot to Unreal or another engine if Unity decided to change courses again. "Fool me once, shame on you, if you fool me you can't get fooled again" or something like that.
