I didn’t know how deliberately unprofitable Unity was, I assumed they had modest profits before the VC nonsense [edit: actually they did pre 2016] Billions of debt. They did the thing of burning through money to wipe everyone else out & get into a position of dominance, before hitting the screw-tightening button on their captive customer base. You know, the standard late capitalism shitty monopolist manoeuvre. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/unitys-self-combustion-engine-this-week-in-business

People trying to make profitable engines never stood a chance 

 It boggles my mind how much tech CEOs get paid to completely ruin a company. Every time someone tries to claim that they get paid the big bucks because “competition” and “global talent pool” I’m like dude, a blind ferret could do the job better than most of these muppets. It’s just a bunch of mates that all go to the same parties and hire each other despite their total incompetence at doing the job they should be doing
