John Riccitiello, CEO of Unity, the company whose 3D game engine had recently seen backlash from developers over proposed fee structures, will retire as CEO, president, and board chairman at the company, according to a press release issued late on a Monday afternoon, one many observe as a holiday.

Urrespective of all the other BS, why was the CEO also president of the board?

The role of the board is to supervise the executives.

"We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong." is a common sentence in America.

Who wouldn't want to supervise themselves?
