Xbox Legend Major Nelson Announces He’s Been Laid Off From Unity
Unfortunately, Hryb has taken to social media today to announce that he’s been laid off from Unity, highlighting that he’s “proud of the goals my team and I accomplished in just 18 months”, but that he’s also excited for his next chapter.
