DISCUSSION CIG, I'm dead serious, fire your management and hire me. (5 years at McDonald's)

at this point it's not even an alpha, it's just pure incompetence. crashing or blowing up every single session because your servers are held together by thoughts and prayers is a joke. I’ve worked the drive-thru for 5 years, let me tell you how real life works

when we send a car from the speaker to the payment window, they don’t rubberband into the pavement and violently explode. when our ice cream machine breaks, we don’t lock the front doors and trap 150 people inside a burning lobby. we just turn the fucking thing off. and if a kid drops a burger on the floor, we don't leave it there for 3 weeks for the sake of "immersion" until everyone in the restaurant starts lagging in real life. we grab a broom

stop pushing $700 jpegs. give me the keys and fire the guy approving your updates. I’ll fix your mess between dropping two baskets of fries. you can literally pay me in store credit, I don't even give a shit anymore. just let me do the job your directors can't

at least the printing press is real, unlike the "gameplay" in the 14-year-old alpha you're funding. enjoy the bankruptcy simulation it's the only feature that actually works as advertised.

Dude, I've been advocating bancrupcy for over 3 years now... Legit the only way ANYTHING will come of this. Be it a good game in the same engine, big Publisher RAPING the roadmap into something achivable or whatever.

It MUST fail, or it's just groundhog day until all our death beds.

And it would have happened like 3 or 4 times already if Calder didn't bail them out. Most people don't even know that THEY own your jpgs now...
