    Hmmm, we have a company who’s success has been largely due to it’s large network of developers and the outgoing CEO tried to destroy that community… Who should replace them? Oh, I know, someone who took another company who’s success was based on a large network of developers and successfully killed that community

      But he has worked as a ceo before and thus has ceo experience! /s and thus the circle (jerk) continues.

    I’ve posted this elsewhere but I’ll say it again: 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.

    UNITY MUST CLEAN HOUSE, NEW BOARD AND CEO. Otherwise we’re going to just cycle through this bullshit with different clowns at the wheel.

      Why not pretend that Unity is a lost cause and move on? They have permanent lost your trust for life.

      If you are still developing on Unity, it’s because you’re addicted to it. Switch engines now!

        Switching to different foundations (game engines) of projects is not like swapping new $300 smartphones.

          I understand that, but people who are stuck with Unity should work towards getting rid of it. Mostly finished games won’t be able to, but new games can.

        “Introducing the X Engine (XE) - the free-speech, anti-woke gaming engine formerly known as Unity! To show our dedication to anti-wokeness we will only allow String and Long variable types, and to show my dedication to being a free-speech edgelord, functions will now be referred to as fucktions. Professional access to XE will be $420.69 monthly, with additional fees added on based on the success of the product you created.”

          I mean, let’s be honest. Integers are just a waste of money and storage. I’ll go there myself and disconnect the integers from the engine.

        You know what, I’m all for it. Nothing would sink Unity faster than whatever they pulled last than to appoint Elon.
