This is an extremely stupid and misleading headline. Unity posted increased revenue and reduced losses on average for Q3. They then proceeded to machine-gun their own foot right before the quarter ended.

I think it’s a safe assumption that their Q4 numbers are going to be catastrophic in a bunch of interesting ways.

Unity execs/C-suite and board did this. They will never accept responsibility. They will find ways to delegate blame to their workforce, the industry, and the national and global economy in general.
