The short version:
“John Riccitiello will retire as President, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, effective immediately. James M. Whitehurst has been appointed Interim Chief Executive Officer, President and a member of the Board. Roelof Botha, Lead Independent Director of the Unity Board, has been appointed Chairman. Mr. Riccitiello will continue to advise Unity to ensure a smooth transition.”
Personally I’m a fan of Godot from a technology, license and community perspective, so this doesn’t matter much to me.
But I’m definitely curious to see how much this leadership shakeup will matter to the average unity dev.
