"I hope" is not a threat. I specifically said "threatening general violence".
Someone (pseudo) anonymously e-mailing "I'm going to kill you all," is generally considered a threat in the US, though it's usually ignored because it's vague and unsubstantiated.
Without knowing what "threat" Unity received, it could have been anything.
In the past ten years, has your company (companies?) received general threats of violence? Not "I hope", but "I will"?

Add any one of a weapon, day or time, location or person and it becomes a specified threat. > Without knowing what "threat" Unity received, it could have been anything I agree. But again, it’s a video game company. The cost of deferral is low. Even if it were an “I’m going to kill you all” threat, deferring until investigated is prudent. And if a company takes a threat seriously, law enforcement will, too. > In the past ten years, has your company (companies?) received general threats of violence? Not "I hope", but "I will"? No.
