Good news for you then, far fewer than 50% of employees at Unity work on the game engine. The game engine is a small part of what Unity does, especially since IPO.

Unsolicited internet judgement and condescending advice is worse than nothing and significantly worse than compassion. Too many people on the internet are way too over confident in their assessment of others' situations, and I dare say

The rise in price really just means that people think they can cash out even higher. If it was already overvalued, it would still jump because people expect stocks to pump during layoffs. We should stop acting like this reflects a large inc
