The article talks more about being able to legally play old games without downloading roms or anything, but that's a different topic from video game preservation. Video game preservation itself is doing just fine though. The vast majority of games are archived online and emulators provide super easy ways to play games that are impossible to find now.
Sure, companies should allow people to play older titles in easier ways, but to say "efforts to preserve gaming's rich history are failing" is just wrong.
The board knew who he was and his history before they hired him. They still hired him. They wanted and supported this but it blew up and he's the fall guy for this change.
Until the board changes, I don't think I care much for Unity at all.
Don't get me wrong, he's a dick, but I cannot imagine he's the only one.
No one should base their lively hood in game development through Unity with the poison that fills the C-Suites. Hopefully this is a big enough push to get GODOT to close the gap in marketshare.
Watch for more products that enable normal people to do great things to become paywalled. Only your gatekeeper masters may direct the market, and the creativity. In their infinite wisdom, they demand the control of gods.
Billionaires are a mistake.
EDIT: and I love the bait-and-switch of charging anyone who ever used Unity, even under different terms. Electric chair for the CEO.
