Is their trust broken forever or is there any chance for redemption?

I hope this reduces Unity to perpetual irrelevance, but I fear it might not.

It won't, but hopefully people looking to get into game development are more hesitant to pick Unity. If people aren't learning Unity in school or on personal time, the work force for it's going to shrink, and it'll eventually fade to nothing.

This doesn't even need to be a boycott. Just a negative suggestion will slowly wile away the numbers, as their engine fails to innovate, gets outpaced by competitors, and lives in the shadow of its former self, entirely thanks to Unity Technologies making the biggest PR disaster I've seen this month.
