"After nearly three decades of making an impact at Microsoft, I joined Unity in 2024. During my time there, I rebuilt their Community and Advocacy Team with a deliberate strategy that created a clearer, more connected experience for creators, developers, and gamers,"
"We brought energy back to channels that had gone quiet, restored trust, and showed up consistently where it mattered. I elevated Unity's visibility at PAX and key industry events, strengthened relationships, and ensured Unity had a clear voice in the broader conversation."
"I've had invigorating conversations over the past weeks with companies in tech and non-tech spaces to discuss partnerships,"
"I love what I do but I also believe change is necessary. I'll let you know where I go from here."
Larry Hyrb, known as Major Nelson, departed Unity after joining in 2024 as Director of Community and Advocacy. He rebuilt Unity's Community and Advocacy Team, restored activity and trust across channels, and increased Unity's visibility at PAX and industry events. The departure timing and whether it is part of broader layoffs remains unclear. Hyrb held invigorating conversations with companies about partnerships and says he believes change is necessary. He previously spent nearly 23 years at Microsoft shaping Xbox community features. Unity experienced turbulence in recent years, including a proposed Runtime Fee backlash and leadership changes.
