Holy wow, the CEO was just looking for an excuse to close some offices and fire people and used that to do it!

I didn't think about it, but yeah, the people working at Unity may be at a bigger financial risk than all the developers they decided to fuck with.

The unity managers are burning everything down, and their employees are in the center of it.

I mean, depends on what the inbox is for. Even working low level customer service I've received death threats, and that's with over the phone work.
I had a death threat last week lol.

At some point you just kinda becimd numb to it.

Doesn't mean it's okay or should ever be done though.

What is this nonsense? Someone who's mad about a corporation overpricing things is more likely to be a liberal.

Death threats are sent by toxic gamerbro fuckwits. The same kind who DDOS reviewers over 7/10 scores on The Latest Zelda/Mario. The same kind who, again, issued death threats to anyone who dared be unimpressed by announcements for No Man's Sky months before it even came out. The same kind who were behind Gamergate. The same kind who tie their identity to whatever piece of annualized corporate shit they're currently playing and yelling racist slurs at each other over.

What's the big overlap there? Incels. The alt-right. Do the math.

The alt-right did this durrrrrrrrr!

If anyone actually believed that, we'd be seeing wildly different reactions to this.

By my loose implication (not definitive claim) that the people issuing these death threats were probably alt-right because thats the shitty kind of thing theyd do. Then suddenly youre going to bat for them.

Going to bat for them? You'll just say whatever stupid shit you think works in the moment, huh.

Updated article: the death threat was made by a Unity employee:

https://www.polygon.com/23873727/unity-credible-death-threat-offices-closed-pricing-change

Update: San Francisco police told Polygon that officers responded to Unitys San Francisco office regarding a threats incident. A reporting party told police that an employee made a threat towards his employer using social media. The employee that made the threat works in an office outside of California, according to the police statement.

Do they charge extra once they get enough death threats?

I guess there would be no one more upset about this than the guys about to lose their jobs because the CEO is doing his best to run the company into the ground.

Speaking of running companies into the ground, that reminds me that currently there are only 11 Sears and 2 K-marts open in the whole of the United States. There need to be stronger laws against purposely tanking companies for profit, which the Unity CEO seems to be doing.

Their explanation of the fees doesnt really help. Sure 90% of your customers arent effected but thats only because most customers are like me who just use it to mess around with.

That means that everyone who uses it to make a living will be impacted severely.

The San Fransisco police got back to one of the reporters asking for details and it turns out the death threat came from one of Unity's own employees, who apparently posted something violently angry on social media directed at his employers. I guess there would be no one more upset about this than the guys about to lose their jobs because the CEO is doing his best to run the company into the ground.
