I’d be careful drawing too many parallels between running Unity vs running a game publisher.
Unity is a developer platform/tooling company. They don’t care about hits or franchises - they need service, stability, community, and technology innovation.
Game publishers are creative industry plays, like movie studios. Completely different business.
Of course Epic confuses things by being in both camps but I don’t think Unity is confused that they are competing with Epic in the sense of needing to outmatch Fortnite.
