Yeah, Epic's terms for Unreal for indies was already pretty reasonable. Unity doing this gives Unreal and open source engines like Godot way more users.
Like, they could 100% completely walk this back and it might not ever recover. Business relationships rely on trust and they've completely shattered that. All in the name of naked avarice from scumbag leech executives.

Yeah, the trust at this point is gone and will be very hard to get back so even with this walking back (and especially stuff that wasn't remotely addressed), nobody can be blamed for ditching them for something else. |

You know what they say about trust being like glass. Unity's going to learn that lesson the hard way.

The next person who’ll come along might be worse but it is nice for a CEO to actually suffer consequences for their dumbass ideas for once instead of the employees.
Until someone hires Riccitiello to be CEO there. Good thing the replacement for PlayStation’s already been decided at least…

Good thing the replacement for PlayStation’s already been decided at least… Activision Blizzard might be looking for a new CEO once Microsoft completes its acquisition, and Kotick is (hopefully) shown the door. Riccitiello would be a distinct upgrade over him, though that says a lot more about how deplorable Kotick is than Riccitiello being good. |

Yet another case of "all you had to do was not".

Good thing the replacement for PlayStation’s already been decided at least… Sadly, even though he lost his job, he will probably get one hell of a golden parachute and make more than all the non-executives combined. I always thought it would be great to be a failed CEO. Someone could make a pretty comfortable living off of the residuals. |

Sounds like the kind of idea man that would fit right in at Elon’s X

Sounds like the kind of idea man that would fit right in at Elon’s X It'd never work. Nobody in an Elon Musk company is allowed to come up with harebrained ideas that are doomed to fail except Elon himself. |

He'll get a massive severance package more than his employees will earn in their lifetime, and then waltz into another CEO job at another high-paying firm. |

By the standards of this system, unfortunately, that’s still some kind of consequences. It’s a low bar but he’d probably be there if, like a lot of things, shares weren’t dropping at Unity. |
