@80f08b97 not defending Unity or anything, but Unity is currently loosing like $1B a year. That can only happen so long until the company goes out of business or is purchased by private equity (or both). With that said the way Unity has gone about this is terrible.
@1aa6d670 they were, but have been profitable this year. There is an easy solution: to adjust their expense to their market. They have entered and acquired too much they couldn’t monetize. Those are their faults, and the current leadership has shown that rather than making hard decisions towards their appetite that milking their customers is simpler. Send them a message they can’t ignore.
@80f08b97 this doesn’t look like profit to me, but I do agree with your assessment about how they should deal with it vs how they are. https://media.hachyderm.io/media_attachments/files/111/066/841/606/120/348/original/570c93279aeb4f76.png https://media.hachyderm.io/media_attachments/files/111/066/841/885/824/065/original/72bc068eed0c8e27.png
