If the value of Unity tanks after this, wouldn't surprise me if MiHoYo or someone bought them just to not risk their huge projects that are currently using Unity.

For context, MiHoYo runs all their games on Unity (Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, etc), and their net worth ($16 billion) is more than Unity's itself ($13 billion).

Tencent also has a huge chunk of games that run in Unity, and their market value is too massive to even utter.

I don't think they can buy Unity, but I do know those games use a custom version of Unity that's heavily modified. That version should still fall under the old license. Also you know they have the money to sue the hell out of Unity. It'd be cool if they moved their games to Godot, but I really doubt that'd happen lol.
