I had a chance to talk to Game Developers for Unite in the early stages of the game. They were absolutely passionate about the game.
Sadly there were lots of issues that I know behind the scene which cannot be shared with the public for UNITE's path to this conclusion, nor will it make sense for the general public anyways. It was the major reason that led to me departing the game as one of the fastest growing Creator (if not the fastest for a period of time) for UNITE.
I wish creators and the community will not be so quick to point fingers towards the obvious "villain Timi Studio" for "fumbling", although it might be the easiest way to engagement farm, which also shows the ignorance of game development and publishing.
Ultimately, a community is its people, and the game is a vehicle. We might change vehicles from time to time in our lives, but the community is what matters. The gaming landscape is shifting forever with the disruption of new technologies. It's scary, but I believe the Future is bright and awesome.
