The overhauled Runtime Fee policy plan being considered by Unity Technologies will cap the fee to 4% of the game's revenues over $1 million.

  1. Company makes wildly negative changes
  2. Public outcry occurs
  3. Company walks back overwhelmingly negative parts of the deal to what they originally intended to happen

The only thing they can do now is fire the CEO.

Or add a clause to the TOS banning retroactive updates of TOS to existing games.
