    You'll probably want to publish with a new package name like com.YourCompany.YourGame too, right?

    I meant if you change your company name, you will need to change your package name too. You will need to create a new release.

    Well, it depends on how you save your data. Do you use Application.persistenDataPath to store a save game? Then, this save game will contain the company name and product name from the project settings as part of the file path. But then again, you handle this yourself, so you can write a save game updater in your new game version. From that point on, your code always needs to look in the old save path and upgrade/move the save to the new location, etc.
