  • Wonder =?UTF-8?B?V2hhdOKAmXM=?= Happening With Weta ...

    From Lawrence D'Oliveiro@ldo@nz.invalid to nz.comp,comp.graphics.animation on Thu Apr 4 07:12:12 2024
    From Newsgroup: nz.comp

    About 2-+ years ago, Peter Jackson sold off the software part of Weta
    Digital to well-known game-engine maker Unity Software <https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/sir-peter-jackson-to-sell-weta-digital-tech-division-to-us-based-gaming-company/QU367JTO56ARSL5JJ5BCIGQO6U/>.
    The part he was keeping was renamed rCLWetaFXrCY, and was going to become
    just another customer for that same software.

    Then, late last year, came the news that Unity was laying off hundreds
    of staff, including most of those former Weta folk <https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/11/unity-lays-off-hundreds-of-weta-digital-engineers-as-it-pivots-back-to-games/>.
    I wonder where this leaves WetaFX now?

    This happened shortly after Unity made the disastrous decision to
    alienate a large part of the user base for its game engine by
    demanding more money from smaller game developers.
