  That was news for me, too. I thought they were a much smaller operation. I always thought I was rooting for the underdog vs Unreal, but apparently they're the giant.

    Their largest business is largely mobile ads in mobile games, as I understand it, and has been for a while. As a business, they haven't really competed all that effectively with Unreal for AA/AAA games. If you like ads in mobile games, root away! > https://unity.com/products/unity-ads https://unity.com/products/unity-ads

      With that many people, the engine should be coded in assembly, x86_64 and arm64 and risc-v :)

    They ballooned massively in size after covid (when their IPO occured), in 2019 they were still smaller.

  Yep. Those people are read write execute for the user and no special bits.

    that means a smaller team on UE5.x... but still... Well, I can say I do not sincerely understand those numbers. Is this the bll sht jobs syndrom of our modern societies?

      Would you rather investors and executives got to keep all that money everyone spends on non particularly useful employees?
