GIGAYA

Looks like Andy Touch may have been let go in the recent layoffs. Another mistake by Unity.

 

I guess Unity is out of Touch.

 

Will be weird to see my employee label be removed from my forum account. Haven't seen it that way in nearly 10 years!

 

What a shame, one of the most communicative developers here in the forum, especially with gigaya. Bit by bit, restoring faith in unity

But once again, management strikes the final blow.
Certain people I'm sure will still get their massive bonuses

 

Will this impact the development of Gigaya?

 

Dunno they probably laid off the guy that does that too.

 

Obviously you spent too much time here on the forums, and not enough time in the salt mines. Let that be a lesson to you!

 

Genuinelly lolld. Thank you, I needed that!

 

Honestly, learning you were part of the layoffs is absolutely baffling to me. You've been invaluable not just on the forums but in general. Huge loss on Unity's part, imo

 

On topic please everyone. Staff layoff chat -> https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-is-laying-off-staffers.1302306

(This thread is for discussing Gigaya)

 

@Andy-Touch Really sad to hear that you are in the layoffs .... Meanwhile are there enough devs working on gigaya right now to bring it out on time without much slowing down the development?? Are there any chances of u coming back in the team or in some other team ??

 

Welcome to the family as a fellow normal forum goblin!
Beware of hippos is all I can say!

Though, what will happen to Gigaya's development?
Gigaya is actually one of the only exciting news to me, with how beneficial it is to Unity's progress.
Does the internal game team still exist?
Will there be more projects like it in the future?

 

Thank you for the kind words! I hope that the conversations and discussions helped the company, the engine and the community. I have lost count of the number of times ive linked to feedback posts (the positive and the negative) here inside Unity and do my best to get the right eyeballs on them and discussion around them. Ive always seen even 'heated' discussions & debates as beyond valuable because of the many different perspectives involved; in many ways I found them the most useful source of feedback!

There are still many amazing people at Unity like Mike Geig, Will Goldstone, Karl Jones, etc who I know will still work on amazing things with the community as a priority!

I look forward to the next chapter and to be chasing bug reports on this side of the fence.

(First post as not an employee! )

 

to the team working on gigaya, is the release still planned for 2022?

 

Thread is locked until Unity staff respond, at which point it can be unlocked. I also moved most of the off-topic posts. Thank you for understanding.
