Unity has temporarily closed its offices in San Francisco and Austin, Texas and canceled a town hall meeting after receiving death threats. The company made the call as a precaution against possible retribution after it announced a contentious change to its business model this week.

    Quite literally in this case, the rich unity devs execs are harming poor game devs. Imagine selling a game for a dollar on steam and having to beg your users not to install it more than three times because it would literally cost you money. Imagine going bankrupt because you put a game on gamepass and a small fraction of gamepass subscribers installed your game and opened it once before uninstalling.

    I’m not going to call for violence against Unity staff whoever is in charge of this moneygrubbing sin, because doing so would be illegal and I could be arrested and thrown in jail for it.

      Not staff. They don’t make the decisions. The shareholders likely. They are the scum. The staff will get death threats lose their jobs and they wouldn’t even make the money if it was successful. Shareholders are bad for humanity

        I mean I’m not that big into finance but if I’m reading this page right I don’t think any shareholders have large enough stake to have that much influence. This looks like C-suite

          Fair enough. Someone is pushing for it though. Dicks
