Good, because this is the same person who wanted to charge players to reload their guns in games when he was a CEO at EA.

Why do I have a feeling that everything went as planned?

"retirement"

When rich and powerful people do stupid things, they don't suffer, A poor person at a job gets fired because of issues out of their control.

And he might get hired by some other big company that likes his thinking.

Maybe it was, and was to use the excuse to kick him off maybe, or maybe he was looking for excuse so he can exit out. Who knows.

Funny, according to some people the CEO leaving a company means the company is going to magically disappear. So why is unity still there?

A CEO steps down after ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up? WTF is this, magic make-believe land of sunshine & rainbows?

Imagine he tried to run for president in 2024 elections.

Interesting & thanks for the article... is unity safe now?
Game developers should continue to be afraid, because now he is on the loose...
Where will he end up? Godot? Unreal Engine? Microsoft? Your door step?
This is madness... So many questions...
can you summon him if you say his name three times?
Where will he appear?
Maybe we should bet?
I choose you!
Games Workshop!

Man, it's hard to believe it's been over a decade already since he destroyed BioWare and Maxis. I'm sure he got a nice little retirement package to tide him over until he finds the next company to bring down.

Some crazy users have been going around claiming all our steam games are going to disappear if anything ever happens to Gabe. They claim a company can't survive if one person in it dies or leaves....
