Unity is an engine primarily used by mobile app developers; it's their biggest market. Indie game developers are basically just collateral damage, for this kind of a pricing change.
Mobile apps are all about massive scale (millions of installs) and ungodly amounts of revenue. They're going after large mobile developers, not small studios. (I'm not saying small studios won't get affected, I'm saying Unity is focusing on the big dogs - potentially at the cost of pissing off unrelated folk for no financial reason)
The per install costs don't kick in until you've made half a million dollars in revenue, and a certain number of installs.
Also, you literally can't build these apps with other engines as ad network integrations don't exist for them. So it's not like anyone has a choice: it's Unity demanding to be paid more as they're the only viable player in the industry.
Makes good business sense, though I think they should increase the revenue point of the free and personal tier to a million as well, just to put the minds of indie devs at ease. No point freaking out unrelated people.
His reporting literally got his house fire bombed by Barilaro's cronies. The man is literally an organized criminal, and Australia is so corrupt that the fucking comedian reporting on him is the one being painted in a bad light.
It's ridiculous, to say the least.

Edit: The American equivalent of this would be shooting up Jon Stewart's house for his George W. Bush impressions.
If we settle for XMPP, then we'll be stuck with situations like: "Hey, I sent you XYZ, did you get it?" "Nah, my server doesn't implement that protocol" etc.
Matrix works so well, wish we could just settle on that and be done with it.
I have an LC Dutch oven. Lovely piece of cookware.
Nowadays I pretty much do all my cooking in cast iron, but everything else I have is non-enameled, so whenever I need to make an acidic dish - bam - Le Creuset to the rescue.
Mortifying. I remember reading about the abductions when they first happened. Genuinely mortifying. All the people involved deserve the worst to happen to them...
A mass murder of innocent students because of fear and a misunderstanding. Now I see why people are leaving the country in droves.
It's okay to stop playing a game after you've played enough of it to understand it isn't for you.
I think I had about 10~12 hours played of Diablo 4 before I noticed it wasn't for me and stopped. Still enjoyed what little I played of it, but wasn't motivated to continue.
I completely agree; was just sharing context because I felt the article kind of assumed you knew the prior reporting.
I'm not, in any way, saying she deserved what happened to her or anything like that.
It's pretty clear that the guards let that happen (the whole "no one checked in on the cell for 68 minutes" thing when everyone is supposed to be checked at least once an hour), and that's not okay.
It is a lovely engine, and getting better every day. The more competition we get for Unity, the better.
