Not 100% in the loop with the unity scandal just know the basics but theyre probably using him as a scapegoat to save face. No way was it just his decision haha
On the flip side, no dev worth their salt was going to trust Unity with him still as CEO.
No dev worth their salt is going to trust Unity period. When someone tells you who they are, believe them. Investing in FOSS has never failed me, and Godot is growing exponentially as a result of Unity’s actions.
He can’t be a “scapegoat” if he is the CEO. The buck stops with him, there is literally no one else left up the chain who can be responsible. It’s his job.
Except for the board of directors that actually steers the company.
