And there we have it, the inevitable outcome. Ask for something insane -> apologize and backtrack -> ask for something slightly more reasonable (which was the original desire all along they just thought they wouldn't get away with it in a vacuum). It's classic bs and i hope people don't buy it. Fuck Unity.

I don't buy this at all. The door-in-the-face strategy doesn't really work if it leaves the customer feeling like they'd rather get rid of the door and start over with a new door technology.

You can squeeze your customers in a way that doesn't make you look insane and Unity chose to not do that.
