        Even if that decision wasn’t exclusively his, he must’ve heard of it, and if he didn’t, even worse.

        The Unity engine itself is also being badly neglected, with long-standing bugs that crash the developer tools, or so I hear.

      There was also a bunch of sexual harrassment that was swept under the rug. He’s an incredible scumbag and a shitty CEO, which is why the psychopaths that inhabit corporate boards seem to love him

      9 years of everyone telling him that forcing the UNITY splash screen on “baby’s first game” was a bad idea and was hurting the engine, because people were assuming all games made in the engine were bad, because good games didn’t show they also used Unity. Now that he is gone this changes.

      Also he is a huge fan of the “metaverse” idea: https://venturebeat.com/games/unity-ceo-john-riccitiello-the-metaverse-will-have-millions-of-destinations/ and I am sure some of Unity’s money went there at a time they could not afford it and with nothing to show for it.
