Unity tweaks new install fees as developers threaten to jump ship in c/gamedev

GN released a followup this morning addressing his response. The bit about "already" having an agreement to compensate Billet Labs is nothing more than a bald-faced lie. He reached out after the GN video, and Billet hadn't yet responded when GN asked them about it. Billet is not "good" as he claimed in another post.
