Unity IPO’ed three years ago. Their stock is down 80%, common among tech stock since money printer stopped. However now their plan to turn the tech company to cash cow and milk existing customers seem to have backfired.

A lot of games can not just drop Unity quickly. So a bunch will be forced into paying Unity. Also remember Apple just made Unity "the way" for making full screen VR apps on their new VR device. Don't underestimate how much Unity can make this way... while a lot will drop Unity many games simply can not in the medium term.

Exactly. Milk the cow until its dead and preferably little longer.
