So a Unity owned bloatware company being used by Samsung is now somehow controversial because it was founded in Israel? Am i reading this right?

Uhhhh, not sure about you, but I wouldn't want anything Israeli within 10m of my phone.

ROFL.

Best step up to your words and throw away your phone then.

All major tech companies and chip manufacturers have R&D and design centers in Israel.

What an insane argument. iPhones are assembled in China, does that mean the iPhone belongs to China? Some companies are bound to have offices in Isn'treal, do pray tell their contributions that are publicly verifiable.
