        “fired” is a bit of a strong word for stuffing his ass so full of money it spewing out was what ejected him from the building.

    Translation: the higher ups fucked up because they’re so disconnected with their own product, so now they are making their employees pay for their mistakes in order to keep their bosses salaries and bonuses intact.

    Is anyone believing they would not have layoffs anyway? They are likely just trying to pin their cost-cutting plans on game devs who protested against their ridiculous scheme. Comes to mind that the money their clients were already paying is the money that would have paid for those employees’ wages.

    While I hope all the code monkeys land on their feet, fuck Unity with a cactus, sideways.

    It’s a shame, but considering that Unity is deep in a hole of unprofitability coupled with high interest rates across the globe, I can’t say it’s surprising.

    Plan A was to rip off all of their users and Plan B seems to be to downsize. I wonder if it’ll be enough to right the ship…
