    Lol it’s not a “drastic departure”. All they did was to remove some of the passages that were dubiously legal, effectively unenforceable, or both. They also didn’t address the sketchy anticompetitive (and probably illegal) fee vouchers that were clearly an attempt to sink AppLovin, nor did they say anything about the sneaky license change they made a while ago to enable this whole snafu. The exec team, who are the ones who pushed this whole clusterfuck, are not going anywhere, and will probably try something stupid like this in the future.

    Unity’s fucked. They’ve established that they’re unconcerned with business ethics, and are clearly willing to operate in bad faith towards business partners. They have destroyed any real trust the industry had in them. You can’t buy that back.
