Former Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello is assuming the role of CEO of
Unity as company co-founder
David Helgason announces he is stepping down from the post to concentrate on
strategy and connecting with developers, saying these are the things he loves
the most about working at the engine developer. Helgason calls Riccitiello "the
right person to help guide the company to the mission that we set out for
ourselves over a decade ago: democratize game development." Here's word on where
they go from here:
What does this mean for Unity? Not too much, since John
completely agrees with our vision and our strategy. If anything it means that
we’ll be more focused than ever about making sure everyone has access to the
best technology and services. We want all of you to have the best tools and
opportunities, and we’re going to do everything we can to make that happen
across the board.
