To say it's been a bad week for Unity is the understatement of 2023. First they announced a terrible new Pricing scheme, then their customers revolted, as the week goes on though, it gets worse and worse for Unity, from threats from an employee shutting down their offices, to more studios threatening to leave, to scummy secret changes to their terms of service and back door deals with clients to get around the Unity Runtime Fee in an attempt to bury a competitor.

One gripe I have with this video is that he said the situation at the unity office - namely the supposed death threat by an employee against their employer - was "understandable". It absolutely isn't understandable. No matter how shitty your tech CEO is, unless they happily throw puppies into a wood chipper in the office, death threats are definitely not understandable.

I assumed the threat was from a developer whose life's work is ruined by these terms. I wonder what the employee's motive was.

I presume a day off work.
