Counter: Unity's prior price (as opposed to value) increase was mostly (solely?) due to market conditions.
They barely get more than a billion/year in revenue while burning over half that amount. Paying nearly $20B for that is a huge leap of faith with regards to their future potential and hardly a sure thing. The stock market valuing them at that price during a period of zero interest rate with blinders on for risk is not really a valid stamp of proper value. The fact they agreed to sell at that price to a malware company might indicate as such too.
