As they should. Bodily autonomy and medical care is nobody's business save the patient and their doctor. Full stop. No exceptions. Without bodily autonomy, there are no other rights.

Unity "Vadering the deal" is enough reason that no business should choose Unity for anything whatsoever going forward. They are now a huge legal and financial risk to any business endeavor at all.
No matter how much they relent, developers should not get complacent and trust that things will stay this way. Unity will go back on the offense once the outrage quiets down a little. Don't do it. Transition now before you end up in a worse situation.
There is nothing to "clarify" - Unity is a toxic, predatory company with toxic, predatory leadership and developers and investors need to get out as quickly as possible.
Makes good business sense
I would never call such horrifically predatory tactics “good business sense.” It’s abuse of market position and should draw the ire of antitrust regulators, as well as make their product a major business risk for any new projects.
Let’s not forget that Unity recently merged with a malware company, so borderline-illegal predation is their entire business strategy.
UE5 is great. Honestly, it would have been the better choice even before Unity decided to curb-stomp their entire community and customer base.
But then, what did we expect after Unity merged with a company known for malware. Predatory practices are their whole business model.
This is where tools like Slack Huddles or Zoom come in handy. Need some face time? You are a click away. Need to collaborate on one screen? That’s one more click. Need to pair program? That’s a click.
There is nothing that is done face to face that can’t be done faster, better, and more efficiently using readily available digital collaboration tools.
I am so sorry.
Do these people know that Slack exists? Because that is why Slack exists.

Every time this guy opens his mouth, it sheds so much light on Bethesda's decades-old problems.
Edit: I'm looking forward to seeing what Ted Peterson, Vijay Lakshman, and Julian Lefay do with The Wayward Realms. These three are the actual fathers of The Elder Scrolls. Todd has been shitting on their legacy since Redguard.
What would get Bethesda to deliberately favor AMD tech and hobble Nvidia?
From whom does Microsoft source the CPUs and GPUs for every single XBox?
Yep.
"Base pay would be significantly increased."
Throwing a number out there: $400K/year should be good enough for anyone to both live on and save toward the future, especially over the course of, say, 4 years. I'd even support a $50K/year pension over the course of 8 years after leaving office, just to keep it fair.
The point is: making the job attractive to people who want to actually do the job, and not selfish, rich, corrupt asshats looking to enrich themselves and their fellow "upper crust" cronies.
Retaining any manner of private interest while serving in such a role is, by it's very nature, inherently corrupt. Always.
I like that idea... but I'd split the difference. Put your assets into escrow when you run, and it's liquidated only if you win.
The idea is that public service should be sustainable... maybe even modestly beneficial in it's own right, and strict term limits prevent it from being milked.
If a multimillionaire puts their assets into holdings and gets it back after their tenure, then the incentive to corruption still exists because they can still make decisions that affect those assets even indirectly. We should not tolerate that as even a possibility.
Unity's official response to those questions as of a few hours ago is akin to "we have ways... trust us."
