Look, Unity that backed the changes of the fall guy have removed the fall guy they backed. Now they wait a couple years and use the idea later to hopefully less backlash with a new fall guy who they can remove if the backlash is bad again.

And what a sweet deal it is for the fall guy.

"Hey we need to roll out an unpopular policy change. If you agree to take the PR hit we'll give you $30 million"

Best gig in a lifetime.
