Lo and behold: he's out, Unity is saved! Where's my credit card? Restart your subscriptions, everyone!
When the news first hit (re. "pricing structure"), the unpaid Unity evangelists (and I use the term literally: Unity evangelists that are not being paid for their efforts) immediately leapt to the defense of the company, declaring its innocence and fingering the evil mastermind at the top. He did this! Yes, the problem was that Unity had a badman at the helm...
When Unity started moving decisively toward their IPO, the decision was already finalised: Unity exists not to make some money by building and selling a game engine, but to make all of the money, by whatever means necessary. It's not because of who the CEO is, it's their raison d'être.
Seriously, it's good to see that the immense backlash made at least some ripples. But wow are the standards low.
