They expect Game Pass titles to have their bill footed by Microsoft.
There's kicking the nest, and then there's kicking the fucking queen bee.
Honestly the most credible theory I can come up with for why Unity is doing this is that it's an attempt to force MS to acquire them to stop the effect this BS will have on gamepass and C#
Thats still a really stupid plan. If they want to be bought off you'd assume they'd want to sell out at the best possible price. This measure is going to make their valuation sink so hard that they could be bought out for peanuts.
That sounds like a good deal for whoever ends up buying unity
