Unity is a terribly managed company led by people who know next to nothing about gaming or simulation
Unity is in the “transition into hedge fund” phase of corporate development - but they don’t know how to make the kind of long term revenue that is necessary for that, the same way eg MSFT or Uber does with exceptionally predictable product revenue
JR couldn’t care less about customers, product or anything other than making investors richer - he pushed the whole company whatever direction investor sentiment went (metaverse, ads, Weta failed acquisition etc…) and we see how that went.
MW was a weaker less psychotic version of JR, and couldn’t make a game in Unity if you forced him to.
The new CEO is whatever who cases, just another psychopath trying to pretend he cares about developers. Yawn.
Overall there a lot of people who care about gaming and simulation toiling at Unity and only keep going cause the remnants of a great engine still produce value - however waning. Investors, management however don’t and never did.
Unity sealed their fate going public when they had no long term way to sustain it without destroying it (I’m unaware of a company who didn’t destroy the original products after going public, so, who is surprised)
