I had 12 months unity pro subscription about 3 years ago. This night they decided to deduct 151.25$ from my Paypal and start a new subscription with 12 months commitment. I wrote to support, still no response. Please be careful when using subscriptions from unity, it can be reactivated any time after without any notice.
While thats not great, please dont make false titled borderline spam posts such as “unity is a scam”. Its clearly not a scam, you just got charged incorrectly. While this isnt a nice thing to happen, it doesnt automatically classify the company which has been operating legally and clearly not as a scammer, for more than a decade.
You are not a business partner thats why, you are an end user
Multiplay was a business partner for example. We are users of the engine and subscribers and just because we use this for business, doesnt make us business partners with unity.
Mauri and MadeFromPolygons have been correct here throughout. We do highlight this in our TOS and it’s available to read before you commit to a subscription so we can’t accept that we’ve been malicious.
In any case, I’m sorry to learn that you’ve had a negative experience with your cancellation. It’s worth noting that the team do advise a potential two week turnaround for responses (https://support.unity.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=65905) but they do have a chat widget on that page if you need to reach them quicker.
Please feel free to provide any constructive feedback as I’ll gladly provide this on your behalf.
Since we don’t have the full story here I’ll reserve judgement but as a consumer it concerns me that there would be any question about whether a spurious charge could be refunded. If the customer did not request the charge and it was done in error, then OF COURSE you should refund the payment. How is it that you are “not sure” if the payment can be returned?
I had a negative experience not with any kind of cancellation. I had a negative experience because I was not subscribed to any unity plan for ~3 years and this morning I found out, that they arbitrarily enrolled me into a 1-year pro subscription. Everything is solved now, I even received the refund a few minutes ago.
I have also been charged for a subscription I did not want. It also says it could take 2 weeks for a response to my service desk request. This is really poor.
