They can stay closed.
im super on the fuck unity train right now but like, real normal people work there that need employ and have families to support. I hope unity changes course due to public sentiment but i don't really think that death threats forcing an office closed are going to be the way to invite that change
And those people can find employment at a company that isn't such a piece of shit.
Well these days I'm not sure sure
That's why I used the qualifier "isn't such". They're all shit, it just depends how much and what kind of shit is worth it.
I think it’s more the “find employment” thing, not the “piece of shit” thing. Tech companies have been doing massive layoffs recently so the market is flooded with people looking for jobs when fewer places are hiring.
Tech companies have been doing massive layoffs recently
A. Sort of big, not recession-inducing.
B. Intentionally done by the larger companies to price-fix the tight job market so they don't have to pay so much.
As the other guy has said, I was more thinking about the chance of finding more employment
I hope they do. But for now I'd rather them not all lose work overnight, nor do I want all of the indie devs getting blindsided by these changes to unity to have to give up on, port, or delist their projects. I want unity to change for the better more than I want them to crash and burn. But I do think this will serve as an awakening for some segments of the industry to not put all their eggs in one basket with a company as greedy as unity. I hope Godot takes off in use, or Epic keeps using fortnite money to make unreal an attractive development platform and continues to be a good steward of it. That's wishful thinking though, given the current state of unity lol
Saw a post that said a lot are leaving over this. Take with a grain of salt because I dunno who the poster actually is, but one can hope right?
Yup. Honestly, no sympathy from me here. Fuck those shitbags.
