Finally, Riccitiello will quit

Like myself and many others here have been saying, a reversal was not going to be enough, and a new CEO was required to build back trust and we were right.

It will still be a hard year ahead for Unity especially since they already operated at a loss, and there's no way around the fact they lost customers even if mitigated by the reversal and now the new CEO. This whole debacle also served their competitor and other open-source solutions a publicity spotlight they could never achieve on their own.

But at least, now I feel many actors will have an easier time giving Unity another chance and some will probably reevaluate changing to another solution by weighing the cost of doing so to the ever-decreasing risk of Unity doing something akin again. 

Now the question is who will replace him, I hope for someone more down-to-earth.

I wonder, if Riccitiello had been kicked out immediately after the controversy, would Unity's imaged had been as damaged as it has been?

I don't think it would have helped them much honestly, the damage was done.
