"How incredibly amazing this is," said Unity CEO David Helgason on stage. "We have to admit that every single finalist’s game here tonight deserves an award."

"I want to thank everybody here, our community, and the entire Unity team, now 203 strong."

The Unity Awards were noticeably more slick this year, but kept their playful, relaxed atmosphere that the company has fostered for its seven years in business.
