The key word here seems to be "up to". It'll be interesting to see how many employees (common shareholders) are actually willing to sell their shares to the investors.

If they're holding on and the full $525M isn't raised, then almost paradoxically, I'd wager that Unity is doing really really well. If they're selling, I don't think it necessarily can be construed as good or bad without proper context.

It's crazy how these things tend to snowball.

In some ways isn't this how cults get started? Someone picks some arbitrary and weird thing that "initiates" an individual into an exclusive club. Then you get that first follower and you're off to the races.

Personally, I'm excited for the cult of the pineapple. It's my favorite fruit.

Bit of a meta question: how applicable are findings in rats / mice to humans. Does it differ based on the types of relationships the study is trying to find?

I've always wondered this and have historically assumed the correlation must be high - but never really dove too deep into it.
