Yeah, my immediate thought is "wow, that really shows the dangers of depending on a proprietary platform; maybe people will start going FOSS to escape". Because honestly, using a proprietary platform is an understandable move if it's useful and you think it won't do a rugpull, but a major vendor deciding to do exactly that feels like it shifts the analysis.

But I'm not a game dev, so take this with a whole helping of salt gains.

What's the chances of Unity blowing them out of the water with lawsuits (patents, whatever)?
