Unity has not been having the greatest time in recent years, much of which is down to its former CEO John Riccitiello. Calling developers "fucking idiots" didn't seem a wise move when your business depends on, erm, developers, but that was nothing next to Unity's plans for a mooted runtime fee that would see game makers charged for their games being booted up.
The reaction against the runtime fee was horror swiftly followed by unanimous anger, forcing Unity into a total climbdown and Riccitiello to fall on his sword. It's fallen to new CEO Matt Bromberg to rehabilitate the company's image and win back some developer goodwill, and he's recently been on the interview circuit saying very sane things like "you can’t have a business where we’re [fighting our] customers. That’s insane."
