We converted, we know why we converted, and we're now telling you that had we not been customers before there's a good chance we would not convert with this rebranding.Ĭlick to expand.Putting my investor hat on, I'm not too thrilled with the rebranding either. Who knows why execs make these wild decisions without reaching out to paying customers on whether or not it sounds like a good idea. This rebranding should have just been "Now introducing Version Control for Unity DevOps, powered by PlasticSCM".
Plastic already has an uphill battle with Perforce and this rebranding is not only cleaning the slate, but it's also directly associating it with a brand (Unity) that a large percentage of the market does not want to touch. For the very small amount of community guides/tutorials, you instantly lost all of that brand recognition and help. For some stupid reason it's now called Unity Version Control don't ask me why". It's so much easier to say "Use Plastic" than "Use Unity Version Control". Just adding another voice that a rebranding is ultimately going to hurt the service many of my thoughts have already been mentioned but I'm going to reiterate them. It's only going to make things even more confusing for end users and potential buyers

Don't make the name of a piece of software or a service literally be the same name as countless other services the company offers. Maybe could have got by simply calling the new name "UVC" or something to that end, but it's still a much more generic and clunky name than Plastic Making people say a whole lot more words to refer to the same software.
But saying you have "Unity" open when really you have "Unity Version Control" open is not clear. If I ask someone a question and they say they are using "Plastic" or have "Plastic open on their desktop" that's clear and recognizable. "Plastic" pops, it's recognizable in it's field. Putting aside any "perception" about the association with Unity, it's just a really generic name. Plastic SCM has a great reputation, this really seems like a shot in the foot to rebrand it as something so incredibly generic as "Unity Version Control".
