Unity’s CEO was to address employees at the meeting.

The Unity pricing debacle has taken an unfortunate, dangerous turn. In a new report from Bloomberg, the company has reportedly canceled a town hall meeting due to what the publication called credible death threats. According to Bloomberg, Unity CEO John Riccitiello was set to address employees Thursday morning, but the companywide meeting was canceled and two of Unity’s offices were closed because of the alleged threats.

    First off: Disagree over death threats. They’re not warranted unless someone’s voice directly threatens people’s lives - not their entertainment.

    On that note, I’m wondering if the threats may be more from game developers - studios that are reliant on income through the Unity engine, and may have their whole livelihood threatened by the pricing changes. (Doesn’t justify the threats, still)
