He wasn't just active on forums, he was actively developing on Unity itself, in the weeds with all the other engineers. He arguably got a bit too involved at times, but it was very admirable for a "executive" who could retire on the interest of his shares in Unity to still take so much care in the product. I can't say that about many 10+ year old company founders, let alone ones that went public.

And of course the moment he silently stepped out, Unity rolls all this BS out in less than 6 months. Joe wasn't just champion of the tech, he was likely one of the last of the old guard up top keeping things focused on the actual product instead of how to extract infinite monies.
