Unity lays off over 200 people, or 4% of its workforce, two weeks after the CEO said at an all-hands meeting that there would not be any layoffs

Management at the company behind the free game development engine has been a ‘shit show’ recently, sources say

I'm sitting here on a Friday night, working myself to to bone after my day job, trying my best to scrape a living from my indie games, trying to keep up with Apple, Google, Unity, Xcode, MacOS changes that happen so fast my head spins while performing worse on older devices.

Apple warns it will remove apps from the App Store that haven't been “updated in a significant amount of time” and is giving developers 30 days to update them

There was no indication of what kind of update needs to be made. Just that the app must be “updated” or be removed. Is there some security or technical issue an update will solve? Are arbitrary updates to fully functioning apps a necessary part of our development workflow?

I can at least try to understand getting rid of 32 bit apps years after 64 bit became standard. Or scam apps. or apps that collect data. Or broken apps. But this is a perfectly good game. No surprises. No tricks. Just something I worked very hard to make and love very much.

Now I need to dig up my project file, update the Unity version to make sure it meets the App Store requirements, rebuild, retest, resubmit all to get the exact same game in the exact same place it was before. For me this kind of surprise is the worst part of making games.

Now I am expected, along with Google's new program, to update all of my games every 2 years even if nothing is wrong with them. Even yearly Unity updates break project so badly they won't run. This is not an insignificant challenge and adds undue stress.

I feel sick. Apple just sent me an email saying they're removing my free game Motivoto because its more than 2 years old. It's part of their App improvement system. This is not cool. Console games from 2000 are still available for sale. This is an unfair barrier to indie devs. https://twitter.com/...

Wiping apps that haven't been updated in a ‘significant amount of time’  —  Apple may be cracking down on apps that no longer receive updates.
