Just that their reputation is heavily tarnished anyways. This isn't a B2C company. The people buying from them are taking years to complete their work and how much money they have to pain can matter painfully.

So now they can't trust not to get fucked over after years of being deep into working with the engine. You can't plan business with this

This still leads to people choosing different on new engines on new projects. Everything that already rolls in Unity will keep doing that, but that's more because switching engines midway or afyer you already done is no fun, rather than Unity doing something right
