<p>Unity Connect was first <a href="https://gamefromscratch.com/unity-launch-unity-connect-beta/">launched back in 2016</a> as a sort of social hub for Unity developers. Due to declining interest Unity have announced Unity connect will be closing by February 4th, 2021. Users were sent the following email announcing the closure:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>Hi User,</p>
<p>Today we’re announcing that on February 4, 2021, Unity Connect, our dedicated talent and sharing marketplace, will shut down. We’re proud of the community that rallied around Connect and we are inspired by the great sharing and discovery that came from it.</p>
<p>We want to make this transition as smooth as possible for everyone who uses Connect. If you are an active user on the platform, click here to learn more about the alternatives that will be provided for some Connect features. If you would like to download any part of your profile, please feel free to do so before we delete your information on February 4, 2021.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>If you head on over to the Unity Connect website <a href="https://connect.unity.com/learn-more">you will see a notice</a> of the upcoming closure with the following details:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>We launched Unity Connect almost four years ago in an effort to provide a free community tool for all users, of all experience levels, to connect with each other. While the product has a loyal following, over the years usage has declined. So, on February 4, 2021, we will retire Unity Connect. Some features, e.g. posting new content, creating job posts, will be locked prior to this date.</p>
<p>We understand that these changes might cause inconvenience, therefore, we have made sure to provide alternatives for some of the most popular Connect features, please read on to learn more.</p>
