Modern corporate management model is just broken.
Comment on Unity adding a fee for devs for each time a game is installed, after certain thresholds
Gork@lemm.ee 9 months agoJust because it looks better to shareholders now doesn’t make it a good business decision. I swear the majority of CEO types don’t give a damn if the company goes under in a few years because they either:
-
Have a golden parachute in place by sucking up to the Board.
-
Will move on to another CEO position at another company before it folds. Bonus points if they golden parachute on the way out.

That’s what the golden parachute is supposed to be for: a payout long term so the CEO doesn’t make a short term decision that fucks the company up but pays out big. Ex: offering a stock package that you can’t sell for 5-10years.
A decision like this will pay out HUGE in the short term, but if they don’t change it I doubt many will be using unity in a few years.

It’s a good decision for the CEO though. That’s part of the problem, they’re not beholden to the business. They’ll just bugger off and go elsewhere.
