I promise you I wasn’t. This exactly what I meant. You are in favor of censoring not only the “nasty”, but also what doesn’t go along the narrative you believe in. Nothing by different between that and the church in Middle Ages. But I’m glad we got to the point where you show your true self :) for what it’s worth, I support your right to say and disagree, tho I think you need to find a better way to express yourself.…

Yes, and you showed your true self too: you used this as an opportunity to push your anti-vax conspiracy theory bullshit. So again, go fuck yourself, troll.

Yep, it's not profit motive that's the problem, but short term profit above all else, including long term profit. Because in the long term, whoever is making the decision will already be gone.

I wonder how the investors are feeling about their decisions.

They feel bad about the individual losses, but haven't noticed their role in the pattern yet.

FWIW, I have an MBA and Unity's behaviour doesn't make sense to me either. Oh... and... "Not all MBAs"

To me, at least, you and even MBAs that like Unity's behavior are welcome here. It's essential to understand broad perspectives, especially the ones I dislike.

I probably should have led with "I spent 35 years as a software developer and THEN got an MBA." Which is to say... when I make snarky comments, they're firmly grounded on basic comp sci and extensive software dev experience. However, When I show the kids at work how to use old-school command line tools like awk, sed, cut, grep and find, I leave off the bit that they've been educated by an MBA.

To play devil's advocate... Unity isn't close to profitable, and never has been. At some point money has to be made or the lights get turned off.

They could fire 4000 employees and almost meet the count that Epic has (and who has a better engine/ecosystem)...

Holy are they really that over staffed?
