Report: Unity continues mass layoffs with 'abrupt' communications and 5am emails
-
GameMaker Studio is going strong.
Now that is a name I haven't heard in a very long time
-
Godot is great for a lot of 3D as well, just don’t expect Triple A level graphics.
-
Deserved
-
The ad company that fucked developers over a few months ago?
So long losers!
-
They should have stuck to the engine business and not gotten involved in spam/adware schemes.

I've somehow survived all the firings and restructurings so far. It's a shit show over here. I'm trying to get through a few more months then I'm off to another country to go back to school
The agonizing hasn't stopped for me I've just gotten used to it as a part of my day to day. It's wild what they've been putting us through we need to unionize
-
There's a lot of people losing their jobs today that didn't do anything wrong.
-
The exact reason I have to deal with unity for a specific project.
And now its already built, so stuck with it for a while.
-
"That being said, I want to call out the way Unity chose to communicate these layoffs. Receiving a 5am email from 'noreply@unity' informing me that my role was being 'eliminated' and that I'd lose system access by the end of the day felt completely abrupt and impersonal. Unity must do better in how they treat their workers in hard times like this."
Ouch

I’m not going to tell you how to feel but I would like to think there’s maybe a balance here lol
-
Shout out to Bevy engine. It’s like if you took Unity DOTS and actually made it work.
-
Needs a lot of work yet but I like it. I’m using it for non game shenanigans personally.
-
I'm in Canada so left on silver parachute due to mass layoff laws.
The issue in most places isn't the abrupt notice, it's the shitty labor laws
-
(cries in federal employment)

I'm very sorry man, I've been through that, and I have friends that have been cut at unity before. They treat their workers terribly.
Focus on getting better first, just process it for a bit. When you're ready to start looking, the market is warm right now. I'm more than happy to help review resumes.
-
Ah I think my comment made in haste was ambiguous. Fortunately I was not cut this time around, I've somehow skated by all the firings. I'm actually just clinging on for a few more months then I'm off to Sweden to go back to school. Hoping to actually finish my game dev degree this time around! I do have some school application stuff I would love to have people see though I'll keep you in mind for that if you are up for it (for a work sample primarily, to get into higher rates schools)
-
Is this related to the pricing changes or something else?
