Batter? I hardly know’er
Tl;Dr a lot of changes they’re working on halted a lot of progress leaps you’d usually see each year and people are wondering what’s going on, and also a funding milestone got hit again (600 mil) which always riles up journalists and subsequently every person in the world. Also Starfield is driving a lot of discourse currently as it comes out in a week and there’s crossover of fans.
But once those big changes come online the game will be in a far better place.
Their big push appears to be SQ42 and persistence which comes in a lot of stages (persistent entity streaming was first, but eventually server meshing). Idk much about SQ42 aside from it is essentially being explained to us that features there (star map/map, zero g revamp, flight modes) will be tested then put in the PU so it’s important to get it done asap (besides getting it done because it’s been cooking for so long). Naturally a lot of stuff needs to be done for persistence and meshing. It took them a long time to unfuck the servers after PES was implemented, so I imagine full persistence is going to continue the trend of slow releases and many testing cycles and many new bugs.
That happened all the time in my smallish city sub I used to frequent. It was small enough crap like that would get banned quickly. You’d just find them stirring every hot topic pot you could find in every city sub for our state and also like 5 other states, just 24/7 “arguing” aka spouting talking points or hit and run posts. Then occasionally a random post in /r/mlb
I used to work at a credit union in IT. I can confirm financial institution laziness knows no bounds. Separate from their laziness is the vendor compatibility. I can’t count how many vendors do not update their software to run on modern browsers and relied on specific IE instances. Adding to all that is just the institution itself having decades old hardware and software because modernizing things can be incredibly expensive. The core my company used was incredibly outdated Unix and required a ton of different middleware just to make sure we were compliant where absolutely necessary. If it wasn’t necessary nothing got done. And that’s better than a lot of banks that could be running on some COBOL based core. Completely redoing the core will affect every middleware crap solution they’ve patchworked together to keep running over the past few decades and will be insanely resource, cost, and time intensive.
Even these days at my current company I run into this shit. Huntington bank requiring IE for check processing, or SAGE DB software requiring 2013 Access or else it won’t work. These are huge companies still utilizing outdated piles of garbage.
I believe they forced him to step down because of his stubborn stance on EVs right?
If this is wrong I don’t wanna be right
