Imagine doing something so terrible that your own workers want to kill you
I can imagine an entire nation where this is true at most workplaces.
Pretty rare anyone says it explicitly tho

This is very cool and executives should get more death threats
Fun fact: Unity pays its top 5 executives a combined $120.000.000 a year in return for being the most incompetent imbeciles around.
Good. Although this person will now be fired, which hurts potential benefits they could have brought to it. Someone this mad should have been organising.
Do you mind elaborating on "organizing" a bit? I work in software dev and feel like this whole industry is being run by Unity CEOs, so it's possible I'll end up in a similar position to this employee. Are we talking unionizing engineers, etc?
Depends on the internals but generally speaking anyone this mad could/should get themselves involved with an org that's got experience unionising and work with them. There are a lot of different strategies emerging for tech teams now but they all depend on the internals at the company. Salts within the support and QA teams have worked well though and there is knock-on influence within companies (particularly in tech) when these teams seek unionisation because there's usually a tonne of social crossover between them and the other departments. In videogames in particular it's actually so exploitative that I've seen people at the entry-level living 5 or 6 to a house all working the same company.
The main thing here is to get in touch with an org that's had success in the specific industry you're in and get help.
Thank you!

Well, they do hire people who 'Go Bold' I'd say this is pretty fucking bold https://blog.unity.com/community/want-to-work-at-unity-heres-how-our-hiring-process-works
But also they say users first so idk, this whole ordeal isn't very users first of them.
Good for them. Uncritical support
I'm out of the loop: what is unity doing?
Here's a good article about Unity going down the shitter: https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/the-death-of-unity
The most recent debacle is that Unity announced that developers will have to pay a fee every time a game is installed. This seems to include re-installs or pirated installs as well.
