Unity is reviewing its product portfolio and says layoffs are "likely"
(www.gamedeveloper.com)
Oh lookit! Trying to fleece people using your product in good faith backfires.
Who'd have think?/s
Does it though? It clearly backfires on the rank and file employees who had no part in the decision. I'm sure the executives responsible for this whole mess will end up with a nice golden parachute if they don't just get a bonus for making the staff "leaner."
surprised pikachu
There are more than 7k employees work in Unity. I don't understand why Unity needs so much workforce given that company is struggling to reach profitability.
Hence the layoffs i guess. They just wouldn't want to let a layoff go to waste so they jammed in a terribly greedy unpopular decision to monetize like they did. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

No doubt they need to recoup the cost of that golden parachute.
