Is it likely that the door cost more or less than the espresso machine? I'd guess more, but I am not a door expert nor am I employed in an industry that has a lot of door related activities. And if, as the YouTube commenter hypothesized, having nice things around you at work (like a fancy motor door) makes you more productive, what kind of increase in productivity can be expected? 5%? 10? Does that mean SC will be finished in 3Q 2020 instead of 1Q 2021?

Imagine trying to get some morning coffee at CIG. You swipe your card, wait 3 seconds for the door to open. Then you gotta wait again and make sure a disgruntled citizen doesn't run in behind you until the doors close. Then you gotta try and be a barista and make some coffee in an dirty $20K espresso machine.

The better humour in this thread is like something from a Stuart Lee sketch. There's a cleverness to it, there's wit, it's satirical. Kinda like this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOb2KQHr7V0 Her post was more like this... Dumb, easy, and offensive.

The airlock needs to cycle and the motor needs to warm up to open those big bulky doors. After all, they are making the Best drat Spaceship Building Ever.

If I heard the Doom door sound every time I went to make rancid espresso, I would be a really productive employee. Serious post: Those doors are my favorite example of wasteful spending among many other examples.

While skipping through yesterday's ATV I noticed the guy from Austin who always describes himself as "associate producer of the persistent universe" instead introduced himself as "producer of the Austin studio." Promotion or another sign of PU stasis?

Comfort leads to slacking. Companionship leads to longer breaks. Make them hate each other and set them on jagged stone slabs to get things done.

For $20k, they can just give everyone 3 Mr Coffees each — that should last them at least halfway through the production period of the game, and I'm sure that by 2025, they can ask for another $20k to cover the remaining development time.

Io_ posted:There's a point between comfortable and opulence where the returns diminish rapidly. I'll let the thread decide where CIG land on this spectrum. Yes. I knew someone who worked at a company back in the 1999 dotcom insanity that really went all out for their employees. Amazing chairs, any computer equipment you wanted. They would bring in 3 meals a day and do your laundry and groceries for you. I thought it was pretty insane at the time. But the thing it, all that was in service of encouraging their programmers to stay at work foerever. The extra 20-40 hours a week they were coding was worth way more than all the perks. I don't really see that with the CIG luxuries. They seem to be status symbols, to show that they are doing well, rather than investments to help increase productivity, put employees at ease, or make their product better.

Because they stopped at the “amazing chairs” bullet point and forgot all the parts that actually made it a good work environment (and they also misinterpreted “amazing” as “expensive and pretentious” rather than “really comfortable and practical for endless hours of desk work”). Also, the company management is horrid.
