Unity's pricing controversy and backtracking
Recently, Unity, a technology company that helps developers create and operate content in 2D and 3D, faced backlash from developers due to changes in their pricing structure. They introduced a runtime fee, which developers found controversial and expressed their anger through a collective letter. This fee would be charged every time a qualifying game was downloaded by an end user. Unity eventually backtracked on the fee after community uproar and acknowledged that they should have taken the feedback of developers into consideration.
