No they won't! There's no way any of the big console manufacturers will ever agree to those terms, ESPECIALLY Nintendo. Microsoft would just buy Unity out before paying that ransom. You be smokin' some bigtime crack, Riccitello.
Maybe that's the plan lol
TBH that would explain the decision. Pump up the projected revenue numbers right before an acquisition and exit.
I think they even played that plan wrong. All MS has to do is announce that unity games won't be allowed on game pass anymore and the value of unity will drop. It's probably already in freefall with few new games from this point onwards targeting it.
