John Riccitiello, CEO of Unity, the company whose 3D game engine had recently seen backlash from developers over proposed fee structures, will retire as CEO, president, and board chairman at the company, according to a press release issued late on a Monday afternoon, one many observe as a holiday.
Is that better or worse?
I swear they treat CEO’s who tank companies like they do priests who molest kids and just send them to another place whenever they get caught.
That’s corporatism in a wider sense. Existed since times immemorial. It’s a systemic problem, that is, defined by architecture.
If you need someone to implement a greedy, extreme position then “pull back to something reasonable” (still further than original), he’s on the short list.
Given their decision making in 22-23 especially, yikes
but if they isn’t anymore in red hat so they didn’t take the 22/23 decisions, no?
That’s more at the feet of current leadership at IBM/RH, he resigned in mid 2021. The licensing move could’ve also been made and it just took a while to be official though so who knows.
Gamers don’t know who he is so probably better
People in software know who people in software are. Unity is for software developers, not gamers.
It wouldn’t have gotten nearly as much visibility if gamers didn’t know who the dude was
