The great thing is, if it was a scheme as implied, they now have so much reputational damage on their hands.

Which is why this "scheme" seems highly unlikely.

When this started happening I thought it was bog-standard enshittification. They can't sustain user-base growth so they turn to squeezing existing users as a source of revenue.

Bad financials? Maybe they should stop making multi-billion dollar acquisitions, then.

Unity recently forced us to upgrade to their Industrial tier. We had to cut back on the number of licenses we use because our costs went up at least 10x.
Fortunately the rest of their pricing changes don't affect us, but it's still a real pain in the ass

For now. Reminds me of "first they came" [0]
I think Unity has some bad financials right now and are pressing every part of the business to generate more revenue.
I don't think this was some grand scheme - I think they're panicking about money and acting without thinking through the long term consequences of their actions.
