Can someone ELI5 how Unity can enforce a change to their TOS and have it be retroactive AND legally enforceable?
The courts will decide.
Because it is a subscription service. It is not actually a product you buy outright. It is still bullshit, and should probably be illegal to change to charging for installs though.
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.
