In October, Unity CEO John Riccitiello retired, and the company appointed former IBM president Jim Whitehurst as interim CEO

Seriously if I were an employee and I heard that some cunt from IBM has been appointed to the board I would spruce up my CV straight away. There's only one way this ends. Asset stripping and cuts. Innovation gone, licensing increases, off shore take over of jobs. It's the IBM playbook.
