San Francisco police told Polygon that officers responded to Unity’s 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.

Didn't we call this yesterday? I am certain I saw multiple posters on here predicting pretty much exactly this.

Yeah, it sounded weird that it would be a gamer or developer, much less any "fan" of unity.

I had assumed it was a fabricated threat that came from "inside the house." Now it looks like it was a real threat from inside. I can't condone what the employee said, but I can sympathize with their plight. Not to mention that of all Indie devs whose workflows have likely been uprooted by Unity's selfish move.

Yea this is a textbook PR stunt to look like the victims and people still buy it.
