Interestingly, the other company with a major game engine (Epic) has just announced a series of layoffs, about a sixth of its employees, to "financially stabilize the business:"

Earlier this year they implemented UEFN, which gave map makers a lot more freedom and even struck a deal where these creators get a cut of I'm-sure-what-exactly. But apparently their profit margins aren't doing so great, and they're still fighting against Google and Apple, so they're letting go of people outside the "core business." It's interesting that Fortnite doesn't actually give them infinite fuck you money.

>>2024>to "financially stabilize the business:"and somehow unity still has like 5k more employees because ????
No.2028
>>2025Unity should now have about 7k employees after 600 were laid off earlier this year, while Epic has ~4.2k. But, and this is a big butt, Epic has a ton of outsourced contractors, to the point that it hired hundreds of them just last year:

Not particularly newsworthy, but it's a really good read. A couple years ago I recall reading what I believe was either a Washington Post, New York Times, or perhaps Verge article that was lamenting the inability of students to really use computers as if it was a sudden development and that kids have suddenly become technologically illiterate. I think this article from 2013 probably has it right: People have always been technologically illiterate, and its simply a result of people not being challenged to really use a computer or having a streamlined experience that causes people to not understand how computers truly work, be it from only having experience with web browsers, and office suite programs, or from only using mobile devices, or from using heavily locked down computers in schools. I would heavily recommend anyone interested in education and technological literacy to give it a read. Even if the information isn't necessarily practical, it's still engaging and an entertaining read.
