Yeah, tbh I don't think you're a scumbag, even though you shadow-doxed me once, then tried to play it off. I was on a bit of a roll when I was writing that, and you were the first (and only) comparable target that sprung to mind at the time.

I only write blogs, missives, and tomes about genuinely retarded rear end-clowns. Though our opinions differ, and despite the other sentiments here by others, I think you're OK. I would most definitely have written a blog about you if you were important enough to the cause. Even if you are in fact Toast, you still wouldn't warrant that sort of special attention that my Sperg brain reserves for those with special needs.

CIG is clearly Agile. Agile without tight direction is basically what every new programmer is, just smooshing poo poo together until it works.

That's pretty much the crobbler design paradigm. It works when you're a CS student writing a quicksort the night before it's due, not so much when running a multi-million dollar project with international studios.

But doesn't Agile have sprint retrospectives to gauge velocity?

Like, every sprint you choose how many work items to do, and at the end of the sprint you see how many actually got done. You learn how accurate your time estimates are.

Then if your team is making less progress than expected, you go back and cut scope from your overall plan so you finish the product on ti... pssshhhtt HAHAHAHA!

So, right now in 3.0, hype aside - with zero optimizations to their networking - each client in a serssion sends in excess of 4K bytes (I poo poo you not, fire up Wireshark and see) per second to the server. The server response is over 160K bytes - to every loving client. This is only part of the reason why the server shits itself so frequently.

The Scrum way of doing Agile has "story" points instead of time units. By estimating in abstract story points, a velocity can calculated, and the expected progress gauged (in spite of those darn programmers and their inability to accurately estimate tasks). I think CIG has the "story" part down, but I am not so sure about the rest. They probably dumped it when they went Agile 2.0 which replaces "story" points with "dream" points.

gangtags work like avs, you just add them above or under the text. A mod can do it if you earn it, or you can pay 5bux and do it yourself. When a final design is settled on I'll get it uploaded to the SA imagebank and then anybody can apply it themselves. I mean I guess technically you can link right to the imgur version if you really want it right now.

CIG totally nailing all those points. :) If there's one thing CIG are really good at, it's hitting the scummy predatory company target time and time again and never falling short. :D

Their original estimate of 1.5M - 2M people for their market size I think was (and still is) accurate if you look at sales numbers for NMS and ED. Now at some point I think they started to think they had the next GTAV on their hands and looked at the billions that title has raked in over the past 3 years and continues to sell well even today. That I think is very unrealistic.

And lets be honest theres no way they burn through less than 3-4 Million a month with those employee counts, so this sale bought them the much proposed "2 Weeks" so far.
