Another good lesson about why we should trust only FOSS ecosystems

    Unity employee here, idk anything specific about the departments that handle this I wouldn’t even know what their name is. With that caveat, I will say that all the layoffs last year going into this year, changing CEOs, and the competition between big company beurocracy and the dying breath of small company culture, a lot of departments are behaving erratically. I wouldn’t be surprised if nobody internally has a clear answer why this was banned but others aren’t. Some workers may legit be trying to help but their hands are tied for corporate or maybe even legal reasons, it could be people trying to keep their heads down and close tickets quickly to keep metrics up in the hopes they’re less likely to be fired. I think you all know this already but please don’t be too hard on the workers we’re doing what we can but it’s a corporate mess right now

      Look, it’s a low level employee of a faceless corporation!

      GET 'IM!

      Jokes aside, thanks for the transparency, and salute to you and your coworkers for trying to weather the storm caused by “shifting paradigms”… that’s what they call it, right? I know the execs can shift my paradigm, that’s for sure.

      Peace and love.

        Tech in general but especially the game industry desperately needs to unionize. If the last couple years doesn’t convince tech bros they’re just as expendable as all the other working class out there, idk what will. Got to do something to insulate us from “restructures”, “rightsizing”, and “company resets”

        Yeah it’s a bit of a shit show for sure. Unfortunately I do not have anything else lined up right now, I know that’s an unsafe decision. My life has been a mess lately I can only handle so much at once and finding different work is exhausting

      As a long time Unity user, thanks for your hard work. It’s appreciated more than you could ever know.
