San Francisco police told Polygon that officers responded to Unity’s San Francisco office “regarding a threats incident.” A “reporting party” told police that “an employee made a threat towards his employer using social media.” The employee that made the threat works in an office outside of California, according to the police statement.

    I’m not sure if anyone at Unity ever accused the gamers, we all just jumped to the conclusion because that’s exactly the kind of thing the scene would do.

    I’m pretty sure back when I made games, it wasn’t Unity employees sending me unhinged tantrums because a number was changed from an 11 to a 12.

      Why would Unity go against the gamers? They are the one who are going to generate installations.

        Maybe Unity thought it would be a good way to make some noise and keep Unity in people’s mouths.

        The inverted Oscar Slap, that was supposed to keep the object’s name out of people’s mouths.
