Vi har set et hav af store virksomheder gennemføre ret omfattende fyringsrunder det sidste års tid, og alt tyder på at spilbranchens virksomheder strammer til for at spare. Det samme kommer nu til at gælde for Unity, der netop har måtte droppe en meget kontroversiel ændring af deres brugsregler.
I deres seneste finansrapport fortæller virksomheden bag en af de mest populære grafikmotorer nogensinde, at "layoffs will be likely".
"Several weeks ago, we started a comprehensive assessment of our product portfolio to focus on those products that are most valuable to our customers. We are also evaluating the right cost structure that aligns with the more focused portfolio. We are acting quickly and expect to make final decisions over the next few weeks."
"We expect to start implementing the plan within this quarter and expect to complete all interventions before the end of the first quarter of 2024. This will likely include discontinuing certain product offerings, reducing our workforce, and reducing our office footprint."
Dette kommer som at Unity, som førnævnt, har droppet en kontroversiel plan, der ville opkræve spiludviklere per installation, og også retroaktivt.
