If the changes were launched this way, being tied to a new version in 2024 then this would have been a perfectly fair approach, you could stick with 2022 / 23 LTS for your projects and only if you want ‘new’ features would you pick up 2024 LTS and agree to the new terms.
I’ve honestly not seen much difference between major versions e.g. 2021 - 2022 LTS, so unless these new versions come out with amazing new features, devs can still stick to these old reliable versions.
It’s much better overall but the way they’ve handled this has been shithouse
Greedy out of touch old fuck.
Then again, it’s s not like the board is much better.
He’s gonna be their golden fall guy now, but it’s shit all the way up.
The same board of directors who put him there are in charge. The same corporate culture that let him push these decisions is still in place. The same critical mass of people in leadership who would care enough to block such crap still don’t work there.
Honestly, does anyone really know about the CEO? I feel like she’s got a free ride. No one is going to say she tanked Twitter when Elon publicly announces everything stupid thing he wants done and says he picked it and he’s the brains behind it. If Twitter fails, it’s because Elon is a self absorbed moron, not because the CEO made a mistake. Which is kinda “doing it wrong” from the “we’ll hire some lady as CEO and blame her for the drop in revenue and engagement and then fire her for some cheap good will” idea that boards tend to go with.
Honestly I feel like if the CEO of Twitter made a mistake, it’d be an improvement over Elon’s changes.
We need to construct an economy that does not reward such behavior in the first place. If you incentivize bad behavior and punish the good, the fact that people go with the flow isnt really the problem. The problem is that we reward bad behavior and punish the good then chastize people for not sacrificing their own interests to swim against the current.
He was already retiring. He planned on taking the fall for this obviously unpopular change, is getting his golden parachute for doing so - that way all the ire and hate will leave with him, and Unity manages to successfully move the overton window into bad changes, that somehow everyone is HAPPY about because they got the worse-changes first and they feel like “justice” has been had.
Reddit did the same fucking thing with Ellen Pao.
Introduced a whole bunch of bullshit, everyone got pissed at Ellen (an interim CEO) and then she took off and everyone was happy while being fed horse-shit because “justice” had been served…she was out of her…job that she was already intending on leaving. God, I hate that everyone are such suckers…
Psh, that dude is old. He was probably barely working as is as the CEO. Retirement is practically a reward, as I’m sure his retirement package is quite lucrative. This is just a shallow PR move so Unity can try to assuage their big consumers that the big meanie is gone and to please not take their business elsewhere.
Every fucking capitalist/c-suite moron is so fucking desperate to join in on the financial subjugation of the lower class (US has no middle class anymore).
Eat the fucking rich, throw them out onto the streets and take the country back French style
The US still has a middle class, it’s just been perpetually shrinking for the last ~30-some-odd years.
Anywho, I fully support eliminating the billionaire class (financially, not guillotine style… hate-fueled violence like that tends to spread wildly out of control quite quickly, just like it did in the French Revolution). No one deserves a billion dollars. No one. And yes, I know the majority of billionaires don’t literally have billions just sitting in their checking account(s), but they still have access to that kind of money. Regardless, no one ethically attains billionaire status. It’s all ill-gotten wealth at the direct and indirect expense of others. It’s time to bring back pre-Reagan tax rates on the ultra rich. And while we’re at it, go ahead and destroy the Military Industrial Complex (US patch notes) so taxes aren’t just being diverted to other ultra rich fuckers in the defense contract business.
They found their scapegoat. But anyone with a brain knows he didn’t just do this all on a whim. The whole board knew, and at least a majority agreed to this shit idea of theirs.
My local gamedev scene is already extremely cautious of any future development using Unity. This whole play really showed Unity can and will fuck with their users.
