It's still bad for their profit margins when their stocks fall by 8% in one day, when major indie developers announce they'll be moving their current projects off of Unity and future developers are deterred from using their software in the first place.
Whether they care about money or care about public relations, their shooting themselves in the foot on both counts.
Wow, 8 whole percent. And started going back up shortly after.
This should have been a 50% event. Sounds like the backlash hasn't been severe enough yet and wall street thinks it's probably mostly fine.
Wall Street is probably hoping Unity gets away with it.
