Hey Guys. I know I am late with this whole Unity Mess, but I 1 - IRL stuff happening and 2 - I was looking for more info on this situation. Found a video with all of the info, however it's 44 minutes long so if you don't want to see it in its entirety, I understand. The YouTuber name is Youngyea, who also happens to be a voice actor; but he has been reporting on the Gaming Circle for years, so he knows what he is talking about.

This is also another credible source known as Clownfish TV and it last 9 minutes which is a lot easier to digest. And a little FYI - Clownfish TV has been in these circles for far longer than Youngyea even before YouTube was a thing and I have seen their background check, so they know how bad the situation really is as they always look at the long term effects of the situation.

One Final Detail...I used to work for companies like this and they are not going to stop the aggressive monetization like this and in this economy, they will find every excuse to push this to the point they want it normalized. I quit these companies because of this predatory practice. Trust me when I say that they won't stop at this. They will keep pushing and pushing until it is normalized. I don't want to see these games to stop development, so if they can't afford switching to another engine, I understand since life isn't easy. And since these games are awesome, I'll still support the creators like Fatal Fire Studios.
