Unity (NYSE: U) , a software company best known for developing the Unity game engine, is in a tough spot. Its current business model isn't sustainable, and a recent pricing change was so poorly communicated that the company was forced to largely roll it back.
Long-time CEO John Riccitiello stepped down in the wake of that disaster , with the company bringing in James Whitehurst, the former CEO at IBM 's Red Hat, as interim CEO.
While interim CEOs often don't make big changes, Whitehurst is following a different playbook. He set the stage in the third-quarter letter to shareholders, saying that the company was trying to do too much.
