Unity is reviewing its product portfolio and says layoffs are "likely"

  This reads like a statement from a vulture capitalist who plans to break up the company and sell the parts to make a quick buck. One would think they would focus on building trust, not giving yet more devs reasons to use a different engine.

    Sad thing is, it lets Epic run most of the table now.

      I think many devs are moving to Godot, but certainly Epic will pick up some market share here.

  It’s all developer’s faults. If they only accepted the fair new pricing policy without protesting, this decision could have been avoided /s

  layoffs for thee and massive bonuses and golden parachutes for me (me being the execs who made the decision to sink the company)

  They did it to themselves. No one will trust them not to change the pricing model again.

    I think the pricing model was a direct consequence of being in bad shape financially.

    But obviously when you shoot yourself in the foot when you are already bleeding, it certainly doesn’t help.

    wikipedia says they lost ~ 900m last year (net).

    they've been on a non-stop buying spree, the recent ipo, and vultures hold a fair chunk of the company. there's probably more than a little pressure to get the books in the black by 'any means necessary'.

    Unity, as a business, as a stock investment, as a C-suite and board of directors, is rotting in its casket for all I care. I have committed to never buy game built in Unity whose development started after September this year.

    This whole debacle wasn’t an engineering problem; it’s not the software development staff’s fault.
