I mean the .NET community/org is no stranger to drama and controversal moves by some team members which gets discussed over several weeks on HN, blocks, Twitter and elsewhere. For example, I vividly remember this:

As well as changing the license of the .net debugger so it can only be used with visual studio and closed source
As well as removing hotreload from .net and making it an exclusive feature to visual studio and closed source

Want to stay away from unity?
You should also stay away from C# and Microsoft
