If I were to lose 25% of my profits to a price hike, our business would suffer. As would all of us in the business. The stress would be real.
To those businesses that can absorb a 25% increase, and the staff are not hurt, and be OK that's great.
You aren't losing 25% profit. The cost of your Unity Enterprise license that you pay once each year would increase by 25%. For ease of understanding, if your license previously cost you $100, now it would cost you $125. However, Unity has stated that this is negotiable and does not have a fixed price. It is possible that this price is calculated with many variable including number of employees that use Unity (seats), yearly revenue and expenses, and potentially other factors as well.
And again, for Unity Enterprise you would need to make a Unity game that makes more than $25 million per year.
This wouldn't be 25% of your profit, it's just increasing one of your expenses by 25%. ~~It looks like it's going up to $3000.~~
Edit: Enterprise price is negotiated with each company, so there's not a set subscription price. But it's still just the price of one expense, not a portion of total profits.
