Yeah I remember thinking that Unity, at one point, felt like the underpant gnome meme.
I guess a problem is... what if you have a clear vision but there is not enough money in it, even to sustain a non VC capital company? Markets change.
Do you pretend to keep your old vision while pivoting, or do you make clear that you are abandoning a segment?
I am not saying that this happened to Unity, but without the VC money it might have had to change anyway.
