Unity Technologies again apologized for the “confusion and anxiety” caused and withdrew some of its terms.
He apologized after successfully handling the communication of a controversial new pricing system, which caused concern due to a possible self-inflicted bomb threat. Studying the developers' responses to the community, it seems that they are not enough.
In an open letter to the community published on Friday, Marc Whitten, who is responsible for both the Unity engine and editorial teams, expressed his regret. “We should have been more clear about our intentions, including more information from you, and taken your feedback into account before announcing our new execution fee policy next year. Our goal with this policy is to ensure that we can continue to support you today and tomorrow, and continue to invest deeply in our game engine.”

The completion of the installation remains a major factor, but it won't apply retroactively. Instead, it will affect those who choose to install the upcoming release , which will be released in 2024. How could anyone decide to start a new project on this platform after all this? It's a question that becomes subjective for each individual, but we suppose only time will reveal the answer.
