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. |
This is all good, but until the board of directors changes, I still wouldn't trust Unity. |
I don't know about other members of the BOD to be honest and it's hard to pin causes on individuals for a decision that was allowed by the collective supported by the CEO. As such would not know how to evaluate change as improvement or not in this regards. And I believe, that it would be the same for most unity users.
However, I'm interested to know who will replace Riccitiello because he should be able challenge the BOD when their interest is too shortsighted if he isn't himself like it was the case for Riccitiello.
