The Unity Games That Could be Impacted Most by Controversial Fees, From Silksong to Cult of the Lamb - IGN
Some developers are seriously considering de-listing their games from online shops when the Unity Runtime Fee kicks off at the start of next year, meaning some titles built on Unity could end up being temporarily — or permanently — unavailable. Here's what developers are saying about the Unity Runti...
Can someone ELI5 how Unity can enforce a change to their TOS and have it be retroactive AND legally enforceable?

OK, let's say it is a subscription model, which I'm sure it is. Wouldn't I have to agree to the new terms for them to charge me? How can they charge me for previous installs that I never agreed to pay them for?
This seems to me like Unity is opening themselves up to a lot of litigation for loss of income from lost sales of software thanks to the updated licensing terms.
I think we need to wait for a lawyer. I don't think this is something where laymen will be helpful.
Fuck, I feel sorry for Team Cherry, this must be a massive blow to Silksong :(
Go back and redo the whole thing in assembly it’s the obvious choice
Silksong and Outer Wilds absolutely don't deserve this
It's time to Unite and go on strike against Unity. It's no longer a feasible platform. Port to any other method or engine that is possible. Honestly, it sucks developers, publishers, the whole ecosystem, but we'll all be fine and stronger if Unity is no longer capable of holding us hostage and for ransom.
Do you mean a boycott?
