Silver Lake being one of Unity's largest shareholders explains their recent behavior perfectly. It's a private equity firm whose sole concern is squeezing blood out of a rock.

That's basically the reputation of a significant number of private equity firms. Their standard operating procedure is to load the company up with debt, cut R&D, cut investment into the product, cut wages and raise prices to increase short-term profits while pretending you're trying to turn around the company and save it. That's basically why Sears and K-Mart don't exist anymore[0] and why so many newspapers fired their journalists and replaced most of the local news with national news from the wire services[1].
