Well it seems after hitting rock bottom. The company has slammed the breaks and pulled back on the controls.
Let's Review:
[2023]
John Riccitiello Shitcanned
- We know he was shitcanned because the replacement CEO is an interim CEO
- This was in direct reaction to the pricing scheme bullshit they tried to pull last year.
- While everyone is happy to see this ex-EA retard (who has been grifting the gaming community for years offering zero value) thrown out on his ass, a lot of people thought it wouldn't matter because of Iron Source.
Unity lays off ~1200 Employees in 2023 - makes commitment to focus on games again
- Riccitiello's office chair was still warm when Unity basically set his legacy on fire
- The engine had been trying to get into the "Movie Business" for years and the gaming side of their engine has suffered for it
- AKA Purchasing: Peter Jackson's Weta Digital VFX company for $1.625 billion
- Fast forward to end of 2023 "Unity lays off hundreds of Weta Digital engineers"
- But they still have the Mossad Malware Company Iron Source..
[2024]
Unity is planning to layoff 25% of their company sighting "A New Company Direction"
- And here we finally have it..
---IronSource CEO and Unity Grow president Tomer Bar-Zeev is exiting the engine maker alongside the other founders of monetization firm.
Unity merged with IronSource in 2022 and reportedly valued the Israeli company at $4.4 billion, but with layoffs taking place a number of IronSource co-founders including Bar-Zeev have agreed to depart.
Summary
- Unity has cut their work force ~almost~ in half,
- Carved off any influences and developers that were serving the Movie Industry & Monetization Schemes
- Focus on Game Engine RnD reignited
- Aggressive monetization schemes abandoned
- Removed all the bad actors from their board / leadership
- Likely shaved off their bottom 20% performers too.
