"Unity temporarily closes offices amid death threats following contentious pricing changes"

The enshittification continues unabated. I'm glad I never used the Unity engine.

"Lol! You're a scholar of religion. What would you do with Unity?"

I'm also a computer engineer.

"Wut?"

Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

When you reach the equivalent of Samsara to get rid of, Nirvana to attain.
You are shitting.
You are leaking.
