Reminds me of the KSP2 fiasco. Management insisting on reusing the engine from the old game, and firing all the senior devs who could have told them there was no possibility of getting the features they’d announced to work without rewriting the engine from scratch.
It’s so sad what happened with KSP2, we were all so excited at the start. I’m glad I didn’t buy it though
I bought it, learned that there was no career mode and no plan to add one, and refunded it
you … liked career mode in ksp1? respect lmao
Take the passive-aggressive nerd approach:
-
Start a niche online movement that only cares about one aspect of computing and convinces people all their problems are caused by your pet peeve
-
let the company dig its grave
-
create a FOSS alternative
-
sell a premium version for businesses (it includes phone support and management-friendly marketing matetials)
-
congrats, you are now the de facto standard software in your field

I have a coworker who thinks I’m this guy cuz it’s apparently absurd for us to add the 5 most popular dependencies on the planet to our environment and I’m sentencing us to the doom of dependency hell.
