Death threats are not ok. Maybe just switch to Godot instead.

Do you really believe they received a death threat? I'm calling bullshit on this one.

No idea if it's real or not to be honest. It seems pretty believable to me on its face but that doesn't mean it's legit.

I'd say it's suspiciously-timed. My guess is Unity were tired of the shit PR, then tried to flip things around and use this to cast themselves as the victim. So I'm taking this one with about a planet's worth of salt.

Given current events, it seems very plausible to me they got at least one - but let’s not pretend it means the backlash is all wrong and we should start giving up all indie revenue to the great lord engine provider.
