Unity has temporarily closed its offices in San Francisco and Austin, Texas and canceled a town hall meeting after receiving death threats. The company made the call as a precaution against possible retribution after it announced a contentious change to its business model this week.

    Fuck it, I’m blaming the victim. What did they expect? If you kill a few thousand people’s careers, some of them are gonna get angry

      No matter what shitty corporate excuse they give us, death threats are never, ever okay. The people working regular jobs there are never in control of these decisions

    Unity plays the reverse victim “death threats” card because it made a universally panned decision.

    They were really on the ball doing this, knowing them I’m sure they had the death threats ready before they even made the announcement. Wouldn’t be the first time a company fabricated its own victimization, and it’s the smart choice if your PR goals aren’t tempered by ethics.
