Unity CEO accused of sexual harassment in new lawsuit from former vice president
- Thread starter LewieP
- Start date
I begrudgingly root for their success because of my idols in the hobby dev OT, but I am not fond of Unity as a company, with their sketchy royalty payout system. I'm very grateful at the ease of use of Unreal Engine nowadays, I don't know how comfortable I would be using Unity for my project
I've only lurked in the dev OT thus far
If you've been working on a project for a year, what're you really going to do in this situation?
sorry if this is a DP
EDIT: yep sorry for the DP
EDIT2: I mean this to be illustrative, not to snark at you
Yeah, this. Whereas it might influence future games development, I'm not about to throw away a project I already have multiple years of work in.
For Current Project - No
But For New Project, It's Depend on How Much Developer care/attention on this news.
Probably not, at least in my case. As a hobbyist it's not worth the time to learn a completely new development environment when I like Unity and have spent a lot of time with it. I don't make enough from it to "have" to give them anything either.
Not going to comment on the he said, she said but that statement is absolutely the wrong move. The HR VP was going to report the CEO to whom exactly? It also doesn't matter when it was or wasn't reported. Fuck off with that.
John Riccitiello...I haven't heard that name in a blissfully long time, and never in a positive light.
That statement from Unity is super scummy as well, attacking her credibility left and right while also unironically asking why she never previously reported.

Man that TechCrunch article is fucked up plus the internal email and that "statement" is full on smear mode.
Are you saying the fear of repercussion is preventing you from speaking out?
You should bring this up with HR. That said you being upset here muddies the waters.
Mann soo much racist, homophobia, and sexual assaults recently, what is goin on with the world? It's really sad
Wow. We don't even know the truth of what really happened and you are just going to take a side just like that? OK then.

It's not new. We're just finally hearing about more of it. The victims of racism, homophobia and sexism have always known this.
Bravo. Well put.
If she did it while she was employed, she would have lost her job. What am I even reading?
User banned (permanent): misogyny, dismissing sexual harassment
Men are at a serious disadvantage in this day and age in these situations. They say stuff and get in trouble.
If a women was higher up and wanted the same, she wouldn't say anything and still get what she wanted.
At this point, I would be surprised if this was not happening in corporates. I would consider it a rape if boss was totally out of league with victim and she had to suffer it.

Why are people taking sides? It's he said or she said. Till it's resolved, everyone is playing a guessing game.
Saying you going to boycott Unity is stupid too because John Richotello is just one person in that company. Are you going to boycott every company? Because let me tell you the horror story that every big company has some sort of scumbag working for them. If you going to boycott stuff on the basis of one person you not gonna have many games left to play that's including your favourites from rockstar and naughty dog. They both have or had scumbags work for them.
