ironsource

Thought that IronSource was buying startups ahead of the startup's IPO, not their own.

However, the author also points out that AppCloud isn't listed anywhere on ironSource's website.

AppCloud, developed by the controversial Israeli-founded company ironSource (now owned by the American company Unity) Yes the Unity 3D engine company wow.

Though ironSource is a unicorn, it's much less interesting than Wix, Waze, etc: it's basically a glorified download company.

They could also attempt block known tracking code - all games with IronSource ads will run the same tracker binary, byte for byte.

The weirdest part of that merger was Unity paid $4.4billion for IronSource.

TL;DR Article claims AppCloud (software in question) has ties to ironSource, an Israeli-founded company now owned by US-based Unity, but never clarifies what those ties are.

Israeli-founded very much buries the lede of US owned (ironSource/Unity).

Not a raise, they merged with ironSource in 2022 (adtech).

You got Ironsource and Applovin, both from IL.

I would expect no less from a company that acquired/merged with IronSource...

> AppCloud, developed by the controversial Israeli-founded company ironSource (now owned by the American company Unity) Unity the ones doing a game engine?

The author only states that an ironSource tech called "Aura" appears to do something similar to AppCloud.

I have to say it made the later "Runtime Fee" announcement seem even more in poor taste as well, given that it might have had a big effect on the users paying it, but ultimately mean almost nothing to Unity against the billions paid for IronSource and WetaFX.

"AppCloud is developed by ironSource, an Israel-founded company (now acquired by American company Unity)" I did not expect the thing I made games with as a teen to be involved in a global war.
