Slay the Spire 2 ditched Unity for open-source engine Godot after over 2 years of development
Mega Crit switched to the free engine after the install fee debacle that led to the resignation of Unity's CEO.
The fee introduction didn't lead to the resignation of the Unity CEO. He was brought in to do the layoffs, make necessary buisness decisions, and leave with a golden parachute for being the scapegoat.

37According to Wikipedia, John Riccitiello was CEO from 2014 to 2023. So I think your facts are off, unless Unity was planning layoffs and fee changes nine years in advance.
Instead, note that Unity went public in 2020. I expect Riccitiello was pushed by the board to improve profitability, then left with a golden parachute for being the scapegoat.
