My friend works at unity. She’s a sweet person who takes care of an elderly dog in her free time. She was very opposed to this decision.
Does she deserve to die?

Fuck it, I’m blaming the victim. What did they expect?

Of course not. I actually never said anyone deserves to die. If you read through the thread a little bit further, you’ll see me say that my impotent anger (and lack of calls for violence) are directed at whoever is responsible for this moneygrubbing sin.
I’m still blaming the company though. It, as a whole, is fucking over thousands of people. It should expect some people to react angrily when they see that their career, or at least the biggest part of their career, is over, and it’s because some semi-sentient suit decided he wanted more money right now, at the cost of the company’s reputation and your friend’s career after the company inevitably closes.

Wow you moved the goalposts fast. Your comment says “I’m blaming the victim”. My friend is the victim of these death threats. Backpedal as much as you want, but your comment clearly endorses violence against her.
Of course - if that’s not what you meant and you regret what you said, then I hope our interaction makes you think about the world more complexly in the future. Violence is not the answer. We can never move forward as a society by sinking to the lowest denominator. We have to rise above. We have to be better than the villans who are trying to ruin our world.

If you wanna call correcting an impulsive and misguided statement “moving the goalposts fast,” then sure
I’m not endorsing violence against anyone. I was blaming Unity as a company for inciting those death threats. Saying “what were they expecting?” isn’t endorsing the threats against them, it’s saying that they should have known better than to yank a bunch of people’s careers out from under them.
I hope you can understand that the hatred people have for Unity isn’t aimed toward your friend, the same way that the general public’s hatred toward Walmart isn’t aimed at the cashiers who work there.

No matter what shitty corporate excuse they give us, death threats are never, ever okay. The people working regular jobs there are never in control of these decisions

Eat The Rich.

Exactly.
Rich would happily kill hundreds( and do) That’s the difference. Poor’s have a moral sense and always advocate that killing is bad. The rich don’t. You don’t get rich without exploitation.

Quite literally in this case, the rich unity devs are harming poor game devs. Imagine selling a game for a dollar on steam and having to beg your users not to install it more than four times because it would literally cost you money. Imagine going bankrupt because you put a game on gamepass and a small fraction of gamepass subscribers installed your game and played it for two minutes.
I’m not going to call for violence against Unity devs, because doing so would be illegal and I could be arrested and thrown in jail for it.

Friendly reminder.
Eating the rich is ABSOLUTELY vegan.
