TL;DR Summary

Developer Neognosis has announced the cancellation of the Switch port of its Wipeout-style racer, BallisticNG, citing Unity's controversial changes to its engine licensing terms. Unity's new pricing plan, which initially required developers to pay an additional fee for each user installation, has caused outrage in the development community. Although Unity partially walked back on the changes, Neognosis explained that Nintendo's rolling Unity version requirement for game releases would force them to upgrade to a new version that includes the new pricing plan. The studio expressed a lack of trust and security in Unity's future plans, leading to the cancellation of the Switch port.
