"Oof" is what it sounds like wrt the whole Unity x Wētā thing. https://www.fxguide.com/quicktakes/unity-software-with-a-company-reset-walks-away-from-film-vfx-and-the-weta-deal/
So basically, the end result is that 265 people are abruptly laid off right before holidays (I hope Wētā FX can take most of them back?), and Unity essentially pissed away $1.6B. Cool, cool. (not cool at all)
@aras fuck me. What a complete and utter clusterfucking clown show
@neilhenning now, now. please stop insulting actual clowns.
@aras @neilhenning and this is why the c-suite people are paid the big bucks </sarcasm>
@neilhenning @aras what makes this worse is that VFX might just be an even more difficult and more cutthroat industry than ours
these people didn't deserve this :-(
but was probably easier for management to just close a division than to deal with all kinds of laws when firing individuals
