Shouldn't they have done that BEFORE putting out Unity?

This has nothing to do with design engineers. The article says they're looking for designers, mainly UI designers. UI designers aren't "engineers" any more than fashion designers or interior decorators are.

@Khamul,

You need to get with the time, they have been prompted to a higher status, and hence called engineers. :-)

I Think Bernard raises a good point, and most of us took it as redundant.

Now they call in designers to dress up the urban blight of Unity.....I cease now to be amazed..

+1 and RIGHT ON on hellios!

As I wrote before, Baboontu is kindness towards Primates and humanity towards others. Designer-dressing that naked monkey can't change its basic nature.

I'm pretty sure they already had a design staff. Something must have happened to them.

Well, I had been wondering if (as seems fairly likely) they already had a design staff -- in which case the question would seem to be: why do they need so many new ones, all at once?
