John Riccitiello, CEO of Unity Technologies, has resigned amid controversy over the company's pricing changes for game developers. Former IBM President James Whitehurst will serve as interim CEO.
Game engine Unity has faced backlash after announcing that it will charge developers a fee for each user installation of their games. Developers have criticized the policy change, which will come into effect on 1 January 2023, for its potential to harm game studios. Unity has responded to concerns, stating that developers will only be charged once if a user deletes and reinstalls a game on the same machine, but will be charged for installations on different devices. Developers have also criticized the lack of transparency regarding Unity's installation data.
