Well Unity Made a announcement to make Devs pay per Download and many devs straight up said their games will be deleted the day these changes are made.
I doubt that, devs can switch Code, Shure some game devs need to remake already written code but i think there will be someone making a code translator right now.
One of the biggest appeals of modern gane engines is that you barely need any code but that also means everything is centered entirely around the game engine, I doubt there is any way to transition that, it probaly means devs have to start from scratch and reimplement the mechanics.
Even if you could just “translate” code from one language to another, that ignores asset pipelines, asset store libraries, and all the build pipelines that allow you to ship cross-platform.
You also need to now train your entire dev team on a new tech stack.
Actual awnser?

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! Unless you have anything to do with Unity, because there are no winners in this shitshow.
Oh, Unity will lose too.
Somehow, I keep remembering Reddit.
Reddit famously doing red numbers since the API change.
That’s a normal thing to happen after you decide to bankrupt your business partners. (But do we know it already? I thought Reddit wasn’t public.)
But Unity here decided to bankrupt their customers, so I do expect their numbers to change much more quickly.
They will just bankrupt themselves.
Hum, that “just” is really undeserved here. I’m sure they will drag many of their customers with them.

This is nowhere near reality.

Switching engines is an enormous effort
