“Hikes Subscriptions” - A bit sensationalist.
A ~7% increase from $2040 to $2200 for a single yearly seat isn’t exactly a price hike, its barely a price walk. Even the Enterprise level, which increases by 25% (but is negotiable) isn’t that big of a jump when you put it into perspective.
Unity Pro yearly seats only need to be purchased if your game makes more than $200k in revenue (was previously $100k). If you made that much, you can most likely afford the $2200 per seat.
Unity Enterprise requires $25 MILLION in revenue. If you’re making that much money you can absolutely afford a 25% price increase on your Unity license.
Yeah, the price hike is fair, I don’t think any developer has any problem with that.
The problem is that they broke the trust of developers, and I don’t think that they’ll ever recoup from that.
It’s too late. The trust is gone. They had a good thing and it’s over.
And I sincerely hope most of their consumers see it as a ‘Too little, too late’ act.
