Unity is Ruined

Discovering that Unity's CEO being the past CEO of EA is the biggest plot twist that actually makes sense.

“Massive corporations making terrible decisions out of greed and then immediately facing the consequences” has to be one of my favorite genres of entertainment

It was John Riccitello's idea to encorporate loot boxes into FIFA, which then spiraled into the entire industry adopting microtransactions. It's how he got the CEO position at EA. He is personally responsible for ruining AAA Gaming. Now he's also personally responsible for ruining indie gaming. It's almost poetic. He's literally the main antagonist of video games. The final boss.

Wait a second, are you telling me that a former CEO of a gaming mega corp went to work for Unity, a platform much more commonly used by indie studios, and then deliberately tanked it? That's some conspiracy fuel right there.

Developers uniting against Unity is honestly pretty poetic

If EA, the literal embodiment of the sin greed, fired you for being too greedy, yeah no. You have surpass the human limit of greed and gone to where no man has gone before.

The fact that you have to fear your game getting too successful as a Game Developer now is insane.

The CEO of Unity is one of the most short sighted money hungry business execs out there. He's the reason Battlefield as a franchise is basically done, and now it looks like he's going to be the reason Unity ends up losing out to Unreal Engine.

This is why I laugh whenever a greedy corporate villain in a movie is called "too cartoonishly greedy and malicious to be realistic" in reviews. Because people like Riccitiello exist, and executives like him aren't even that rare.
