So now Unity is backpedaling, with further information to be announced. But probably not really.

The damage has already been done even if they backpedal entirely and replace all of their top management. A lot of developers are going to be suspicious of them going forward. I certainly wouldn't trust them not to make a similar decision in the future. Getting rid of their top management probably wouldn't help much either, as people are more familiar with Unity as a brand compared to any prominent people who could be replaced.

I'm a unity developer for the last many years, from version 4. Nothing changes for my current situation/company, since were on a custom license anyway.... But for me personally, I just don't see it as something I wanna invest my own time developing skills going forward. I've been using unreal for my playtime enjoyment for a few years, but sometimes I still consider if what I'm doing would make more sense in Unity... That just cemented my decision.

Unity has many issues, that would benefit addressing, now if it also touches being "an unstable ecosystem" going forward... Well....

Like others have said; I think they have done irreparable damage to their brand and product.

Applied retroactively, so you'll have to fork over $779.

$42

Looks like those games in the popular free games thread aren't so free after all! Pay up suckers!

Well, that was very obvious jab at Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, which are based on Unity.
