Good luck "silently removing" a github repo. That shit don't fly.
Sure a lot of people have a copy of the old repo. But I think the point is that it won't be that easy to track ToS changes.
Oh no, now someone will have to write a bot to scrape the ToS once a day or something, and push it to Github if it has changed.
With the current rate of enshitification, once a day may not be enough.
According to EU regulations I think they're obligated to inform users of any changes, so removing the repo doesn't really do much to hinder people in tracking changes.
Unity uses mercurial for version control so maybe this is news to them.
Interesting, I wasn't aware of this tool.
