It's been a rough couple of weeks for everyone who uses Unity as the company recently announced a rather egregious new pricing strategy with a "Runtime Fee" proposal. Due to a tonne of rather aggressive feedback from the majority of the game development community, they have now walked back most of their policies into something much more "acceptable".

I wanted to take a moment to give an update on this whole mess and what this means for myself and the channel going forward.
