Unity heading for buyout by private equity?

There are a couple articles out now about Unity in talks for a buyout by a private equity consortium with firms like Silver Lake and the Saudi government’s sovereign wealth fund PIF. So I guess I’m ditching Unity? This never ends well.

I’ve been looking at Brutal framework, or even just SDL. Since AI is probably going to do most of the heavy lifting it doesn’t really matter, I guess, as long as there’s some longevity and support for the framework I choose.
