What is stopping him to acquire Unity now? everything is on sale at the moment: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/U

The government, most likely. They’ve blocked other Meta acquisitions.

This may be the silver lining of the market cap evaporation for Meta. It is harder to argue that it is an all powerful monopoly now vs in 2021.

What sweet irony it would be if the biased coverage by NYT, WaPo, etc allowed Meta to resume making large acquisitions and maintain their dominance for years to come.

It merged with ironsource this year (and closed a few days ago). Considering the Unity board rejected other offers (even one from an ironsource competitor that was offering a significant premium), I think this ship has sailed.
