I just checked the stock ticker for Unity and it fucking tanked. So that can't be it.
I wouldn't put it past them to short their own stock while they make announcements then go long once things settle down...
How the fuck is that even legal?
It isn't. That would be Insider Trading.
But it doesn't stop people from trying (and sometimes getting away with) it.
No one said they were good at their job
Maybe it grew too big or the wrong way for their taste? Good reason to fire a few hundred and restructure.
Even though this is bad and many developers won't want to use Unity, I think there still may be enough devs that will comply and generate more profit.
If you were at the start of your journey right now and were trying my decide between Unity, Unreal or any other tool.... Would you be choosing Unity?
Let's hope not. We can't be complicit in our own subjugation any longer.
