    They expect Game Pass titles to have their bill footed by Microsoft.

      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#

        Microsoft isn’t in a position to acquire any other significant gaming companies in the near term, imo.

        That’s actually an interesting theory, I don’t believe it, but would be cool. Feel like Microsoft would have enough backing too off against Epic.

        Though, they are funding o3de right now.
