What I don't get about this is how can Unity change their contract without renegotiating? Do developers and publishers publishing Unity games renegotiate released game contracts annually?

I would never sign a contract that allowed one part to unilaterally change the agreement so they could impose more fees without having to come to an agreement. And if you DID sign a yearly contract to continue publishing a game, that sounds like a recipe for Unity to hold a popular game hostage for renegotiation.

Microsoft is weird.

I wouldnt say they're evil? Because they do a handful of good. Maybe they're lawful evil and unity is Chaotic Evil.

Unity did a handful of good. They were a great game engine for many amazing games. They're still evil. Microsoft is still evil. Large corporations are evil. I'm not going to side with either of them.

I altered the deal, pray I don't alter the deal further?

Chokepoint capitalism tends not to work when two chokepoints fight each other.

One chokepoint is very large though.

I wonder if we could mathematically model this as merging black holes.

Because they both suck.

It’s because they’re corporations. They suck by definition.
