I work for a small (15 people) Unity gaming company. Will let you know what the CEO says, just shared the actual Unity blogpost
Edit: Update - CEO added a gravestone emoji and said "yikes"

This is the problem with being a whole company on the ecosystem of another, they can pull the rug at any time.
Yeah this is why many bigger studios just use their own Engines even if they're shit.
