Too bad Unity axed that project to create a game in-house using the engine to identify weak points and improve the engine. My guess is they realized how many of their acquired tools aren't as good as they had hoped and didn't want to admit they messed up in a few places. I sense lots of tech debt in the engine.
Gigaya, yeah. I have very little insight on that one it came as a bit of a shock internally too from my understanding. I really wish that project kept going it had a lot of value. From my point of view in my fairly limited position, the tech debt I deal with isn't too bad but there are wild scaling issues from growing too fast in the last few years.
