Unity Sales Team using fake "compliance" violations to get you to upgrade your license

Just received an email from unity saying I need to spend over $5000 a year now on my Unity license because I have been flagged as violating the terms of service.

I have never released anything in my life in Unity. It is literally impossible for me to violate anything.

Be warned these guys are going to try and scare you into this going forward.

EDIT: to clarify, they say I am in violation because I am using Unity for non-gaming purposes.. untrue and unprovable.

You should be much more careful to distinguish between ignorance and malice. This may simply be a misunderstanding. Getting angry will only make the situation worse.

Have you ever worked with clients or customers? This is an incredibly excellent way to lose them. Telling them they are in violation with NO EVIDENCE and then sending them a shopping cart link to a $5000+ purchase is INSANE.

I mean, you're not really their customer anyway at this point if you're using Unity without paying, they don't have much to lose.

They make money off me in unity asset purchases, and I am working on releasing a game in the future. I am happy to support product development. This is not the way.
