The news isn’t a surprise as Unity angered a lot of its loyal game developers a few weeks ago after pushing through a price increase based on numbers of downloads — and then retracted it after an uproar.

As a consumer I will not buy newly made Unity games anymore. Whatever they might do now does not matter, because with the new TOS they can walk back on this at any time. Asking fees for installs on games that were made with a recent enough version of Unity that will prompt the developers to remove them from the stores.
If they wanted to regain trust, they would rectify the TOS that allows for garbage like this, but I don’t see that happening…
You’re hurting indie devs more than Unity.
Lots of indie devs have been working on their games for years and have no choice but to release on their current version of Unity. If everybody did what you’re doing, they would all fail and go out of business.
