Unity's an interesting case, because they officially moved, but it was only the marketing and business side that moved, while programmers all stayed in Copenhagen. So this gave the impression of being an SF-based company, but SF was purely a biz office. More recently, the programming is actually being slowly moved out of Copenhagen too, for cost reasons, but to eastern Europe, not the US.
- mto 9y agoRight, seems many companies like that "SF/SV/whatever"-company label. That's sad. Goes so far that we have really small, local startups doing pretty impressive stuff... With a more or less empty "office" in SF and then in the hypish articles it's already an SF-based company. Just because it sounds more impressive than "based in Rübenwald, Austria" ;). Patriotism isn't very strong either in German-speaking countries since WWII.
