SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Unity (NYSE: U) (the “Company”), the world’s leading platform for creating and growing real-time 3D (RT3D) content, today announced that John Riccitiello will retire as President, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, effective immediately. James M. Whitehurst has been appointed Interim Chief Executive Officer, President and a member of the Board. Roelof Botha, Lead Independent Director of the Unity Board, has been appointed Chairman. Mr. Riccitiello will continue to advise Unity to ensure a smooth transition.
Bet he’s walking away with millions as a result as well. Sickening.
I bet he’s got a golden parachute on and will leave with more money than a dev will ever earn in their lifetime.
I doubt you will find anybody who takes the other side of that bet…
I’d wish him the worst, but I know he just got a golden parachute and will go to fuck up another company soon enough
This guy has fucked up three companies already, Bioware/Pandemic, EA, and now Unity. Corporations are a joke.
With his sort of self-destructive money-grubbing attitude and skillset he could go on to become CEO of EA, even.
Every time this happens the CEO walks away incredibly wealthy for their actions and they are replaced by someone who wants to do all the stupid terrible shit faster and harder. I don’t consider this good news.
He made 22 million from the debacle, and that to me is the real problem.
GTFO
