Bad take. A billionaire declining their payment for exposure of their global company is NOT the same as an unpaid intern taking work to get their foot in the door.

Did Apple really just "hold my beer" to Unity?! 🤣
Under the App Store's new fee structure for Europe, if you make $10 million in sales, Apple's cut is $6.2 million annually.
Assuming you have no operating costs or salaries, your take home amount:
$2 million after tax—or 20% of your sales
I will never launch an app in Europe.

My first hot-take of 2024:
Unity should bin off the expensive chase for ultra realistic high-end realtime rendering and just focus on making the tooling cross platform for all other art types (stylised, toon, low poly, 2D, etc).
Focus on WHY studios choose the engine.

I have alot of thoughts about this, but the only one im sharing is how baffling a $2 million signing bonus is for a company who has been aggressively making cuts to save money.
Former Zynga COO Matthew Bromberg is the new CEO of Unity
The new chief exec will net an annual base salary of $850,000, a litany of stock awards, and sign-on bonus worth $2 million

Its kind of fascinating that game engines have reached a point where you can turn on high-end rendering features & capabilities (Lumen, Nanite, SDFGI, etc) in 3 or 4 clicks; but adding a screen adapting optimised UI scroll list is still a huge mountain of work.

When employees of many years are laid off for short term company gains; you are not only losing the domain career experience they have but also their knowledge on the company's internal processes, connections and workflows.

Credit where it is due; Unity Technologies were super relaxed (and often encouraging) for employees to work on their own games/projects outside of work hours.
Even released a contract addendum anyone could sign to override your previously-signed contract if it said otherwise! 😍
with all the microsoft news recently i just keep thinking back to this bit in episode 27 of double fine psychodyssey (the excellent making-of documentary for psychonauts 2) where matt booty tries to reassure the team post-acquisition and in the process says all the wrong things

Showed the prototype to the client.
They didn't like the quality of the realtime shadows.
We agreed, but we couldn't work out how to make them better.
Ended up switching shaders to unlit/no shadows and called it a 'stylistic art direction'.
They approved.
