Even losing its CEO may not be enough for Unity.

    Yeah I’m gonna give the summary of the most important comments on this:

    • Unity is untrustworthy
    • they pulled this shit knowing it would fall flat
    • the CEO got his position when he was already known to be a prick
    • shady insider trading is shady
    • the board who chose or approved the CEO is still the same
    • there’s solid alternatives

    These are all the reasons why you shouldn’t go back to Unity. That said, I’m very sorry for the Devs of Unity who most definitely don’t deserve this.

      It’s a start, JR being out. But yeah, a new board, and new leadership that actually came from within Unity / the game dev community is needed for devs to have any return to faith in Unity.

      I nominate Keijiro Takahashi as the interim CEO. I don’t think there are many who understand unity at a 1:1 mindmeld level like that. Set a new set of goals, get LTS into actual LTS shape, unify the pipelines, restore confidence, save the princess, drive the darkness from the lands and forge a path to profitability that doesn’t alienate unity’s most valuable asset, the community.

          Yup, it’s not like we’re unaware they’ve been unprofitable the entire time and cheap debt isn’t a thing anymore. The underhanded nature of backward-changing the TOS and acting like per-install charging wasn’t a borked concept from the start are what did it for me. I will never give them my trust much less business until there’s a change in leadership across the board.
