Thanks for replying. My suspicions were raised because absolutely everything is effusive. Like: > It can now talk to Unity, which we've previously called "the most popular cross-platform game engine favored by video game developers". This might be true but in light of recent events you might temper the enthusiasm for Unity a bit by calling it beleaguered.

You did read the dateline on the article, right? > Thu 23 Mar 2023 // 10:02 UTC TBH I do not follow videogame news at all, really. I read Penny Arcade, though. That's where some of this crossed my personal radar. https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2023/09/15/disunity https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2023/09/15/disunity https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2023/09/18/undercraw https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2023/09/18/undercraw Note the dates in those URLs. My impression is that the controversy is more recent than the article, and back in March, Unity was not as "beleaguered" as currently. Not that John Riccitiello (whoever he may be) was popular. https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2022/07/20/low-and-slow https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2022/07/20/low-and-slow When I wrote "we previously called" that means "someone else from the Register said this in the past". The link was to a 2017 article. The real purpose of the backlink is to explain what Unity is to readers who don't know. I personally am not enthusiastic about Unity. I am not a gamer or a developer. I am totally indifferent to it. I don't care in any way. I have bought one (1) new computer game in the last decade. I think it might have been written with Unity but I don't know and I don't care. I'm impressed and enthusiastic about the technology behind Croquet, but I personally have no particular use for it myself. It is still cool tech, though.
