We have been consulting with Arabic localization professionals and my general consensus is that Unity needs to urgently invest millions of dollars into supporting Arabic. None of it works out of the box with Text Mesh Pro and their general UI stuff. Rich tags and other things break immediately.

On Jacob Geller

I'm aware of the rape allegations against Jacob Geller, as well as the fact that his name is on a court-ordered list of UNC students disciplined for sexual violence. I've hesitated on whether to post anything about it, because the victim hasn’t been identified and I don’t want to participate in a retraumatizing conversation against their wishes. At the same time, as someone who has collaborated with Jacob Geller, I do not want my silence to be taken as endorsement.

For my part, I did not know about this and I wish I had. What justice and repair look like in cases like these are for the victim to decide, and I do not know their wishes or what accountability processes, if any, took place. However, strictly on a personal level, I’m uncomfortable having collaborated with someone who has presented himself as a nonthreatening feminist without ever disclosing his history of sexual violence to me or any other colleagues I’ve spoken to. I have no intention of ever working with Geller again. Beyond that, the person this happened to ought to be the ultimate authority on what happens next, and how they wish to tell their story if at all.

I think the lack of focus on the LSU rape case really highlights how often, even when Black women (and other non-white women) speak out, they're swept aside for a "better" story that gets more headlines. It's actually astounding how much it's been ignored, given the current conversations.

And money isn't more important than the work, but the work doesn't happen without the money. The same people who are being barred out of this space are the same ones, time and again, that people show up for! The thinnest excuse had for not hiring more women and queer people is a horrible one!!

Also, if we want get into it, this extends past just the need for more diverse voices and perspectives for healthy crit and better, wider reporting. There is a blisteringly clear demand! For all the money talk, lots is being left off the fucking table bc some of y'all hold that much hate!

Mothership is one of the clearest signs we need more women and queer people bc the excitement when they launched was *palpable* and has as only continued to be so. Nearly every person I've seen discover them, or who I've shared their high quality work with, has gone "where the fuck has this been?"

Having an editorial team of only cis-men in 2026 is a management failure, and we should treat it as such. There's no shortage of highly skilled, overqualified, funny, smart, and direct women, femme, trans, and non-binary people TRYING to work in games media. We just don't get to most of the time.
