But did Unity not want to do the town hall over videoconferencing (if offices shut), or was there some other reason that they didn't want to do the town hall?

That said, this was a thing well before the internet. I used to work at a TV and radio station, and the head of security had his office right next to us in IT. Any letters sent to our on air talent were filtered through him first, and a huge amount had stamps on the outside of the envelope saying "This letter was sent from a correctional facility" along with the name of the institution. Lots of letters ranging from creepy to outright threatening. I didn't regularly get to see them so I couldn't give you any hard numbers, but one thing I noticed that made me skeptical of claims that women get harassed/threatened more than men is that our weatherman by himself got about as many creepy letters as most of our female talent combined.
1. It includes people who are not broadcast figures, which is the vast majority of people. It's possible that, in public, in the workplace, and in school, a woman is more likely to be harassed than a man.
2. The nature of harassment/threats against women is probably biased towards the more emotion-provoking (sinister, intimidating, sexual, etc). I.e. the kinds of things that tend to engender more concern, in the sense of how bad it feels to imagine/witness, how likely it is to come to something more, the likelihood of a power imbalance (physical or otherwise), and its long-term effects on the recipient.
But, I also wouldn't be surprised if leadership doesn't have great answers to the questions their employees would have asked if the meeting had happened.
Most of these people probably released shitty furry dating games for 1,99€ on Steam, so nothing new.
