     @arstechnica retiring with a golden parachute, no doubt. The only way CEOs leave and keep their big bucks.

     @arstechnica tell them I'll do the job for 1/3 of the salary, and I promise I won't screw up as badly. I couldn't do a worse job, could I?

     @arstechnica Screw up Unity such that it's reputation can't be repaired. Retire while sacking in the big bucks and throwing everyone else under the bus. 👍

     @arstechnica wow, looking at how IBM and RedHat were managed it sounds like nobody at unity knows how the rock to run a business.

     Well, at least they all have their own golden parachutes. Let the enshitification roll on!

     @arstechnica This is the same guy that wanted EA to charge players to reload their weapons in Battlefield.
