The Unity pricing debacle has taken an unfortunate, dangerous turn. In a new report from Bloomberg, the company has reportedly canceled a town hall meeting due to what the publication called credible death threats. According to Bloomberg, Unity CEO John Riccitiello was set to address employees Thursday morning, but the companywide meeting was canceled and two of Unity’s offices were closed because of the alleged threats.

There are terrible people in the gaming community who make empty death threats over any perceived slight. These people are to be reprimanded and dealt with accordingly.

That said, corpo suits and politicians have definitely started using this as a PR stunt to play victim and garner sympathy to lessen the negativity towards their wildly unpopular decisions.

I’m beyond caring anymore. Especially so for that slimy ceo. If you get death threats, report them to the proper authorities. Don’t report them over the nearest bullhorn. I’m not going to say he deserves it, but I won’t shed a tear over it either.
