1.5 years of learning unity gone down the shitter. here I come, godot

even if they backtrack, trust is ruined at this point. this only makes sense if you’re trying to destroy the company intentionally and short your stock on the way out. what the fuck

1.5 years of learning unity gone down the shitter.

And this is the real damage to their business here. They clearly lost sight of their business model: Create an army of developers who know their product very well, so that it's on a short list of products studios are all but forced to consider.

A wave of developers who know soemthing other than Unity or Unreal has the potential to turn the games development ecosystem totally on its head. They didn't shoot themselves on the foot, they possibly shot themselves in the femoral artery.

  I myself have been describing it as them shooting themselves in the chest, and are now bleeding out on the floor asking how it happened.

6 years of professional experience for me, only engine I’ve used.

  Yes, but no. My company is working in a proprietary engine, so there is almost no one we can hire with that engine experience, but we still want people who became familiar and strong with other engines because they can do it again with ours.
  
  Don’t be too discouraged by that, but start learning your next engine.

The CEO did sell a bunch of shares before this was announced, I hear.

  That’s clickbait journalism.
  
  He sold 2000 shares for $40/share, which he then immediately bought back for $1.42/share.

    Which means he sold at the top, then bought more at the bottom so he can ride the train back up to do the same thing again.
    
    This isn’t a good thing.

    It was probably part of his contract. It wasn’t $40 when he sold it. As probably allowed by his contract, he sold it back to the company and bought it back for pennies. It’s just compensation not some conspiracy on his individual part.
