John Riccitiello, CEO of Unity, has resigned from the company in the wake of the pricing controversy.

If I hadn’t seen this play out so many times before the fall guy theory might seem crazy, but it’s totally plausible if he’s only been there a short time, but I thought he said in his message he’d been there 10 years?

He was at Unity for nine years.
