The difference is having skin in the game. The problems with reddit didn't really effect a lot of the users directly and definitely didn't threaten most of their livelihoods (aside from a small number of app developers). Unity on the other hand is a tool people use to make a living and when it threatens that I imagine it will result in much more hesitancy to continue using it.

For new projects it's absolutely a terrible idea to use Unity. The old versions not being subject to the new licensing is great news for existing projects that wouldn't have been able to switch engines though.
Camels are pretty dang well designed creatures so I'd say the committee did pretty great there. And the alternative is being at the whims of a single person or a small group none of whom have any incentive to care about anything other than the enrichment of their own personal finances. It's a literal autocracy.
Governance structures where the workers own and have a say in the means of production are bound to have their own issues to be sure, but it beats out the current model.
Elon does seem to be able to speak at least on some level about rocket design. His statements and very public beefs with his own engineers at Twitter however demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of coding for large scale infrastructure like Twitter.
That stops being valid when they start distributing said mods to other people though. That's just stealing the likeness from people who rely on said likenesses for their income which is pretty scummy and not okay. I don't know what the right way to approach this is, but replicating voice actor's voices without their consent isn't it.
And to make matters worse Reddit has chased off or straight up removed a good chunk of the moderators who would have helped keep the bots at bay. Now it's an astroturfing playground out there with nobody to stop them.
I'm confused on how this is legal? Isn't Linux based on a license that prevents them from doing that? I was under the understanding that was how CentOS came into being in the first place.
Agreed, Bethesda hasn't been idle in the time since Skyrim came out. Granted their last few titles have been somewhat hit or miss but to say they've not been making anything new would not be accurate.
As I recall Tod Howard went on an interview almost immediately after that trailer and outright said that any real development on the next Elder Scrolls wasn't happening yet and wouldn't be till Starfield was done. Now that Starfield is almost out the door I'm sure more resources will be shifting over towards ES6 soon but that means development is barely beginning. They did claim they put Starfield development on pause to build a feature they wanted to include in ES6 though so they likely have at least some basic concept work done on some level.
I'm going to be in the same shoes soon. I just bought a switch finally and started my play through of the remaster of the first one and they really hit it out of the park with it. I hope they follow up with the other two soon.
Unfortunately they're likely well equipped to deal with that kind of situation as it's not all that different than normal wiki vandalism.
