@RocketPulpHack I can tell you exactly who invented this. The help desk guy at Cisco. There is nothing more frustrating than having 3/4 the company call and complain that the internet is down, when that is what you are trying to fix. But they all have to delay you by telling you about it.
The funny part about being a AAA developer today is that you forgot how to make games.
You stood on the shoulders of those who founded the industry.
Then you hounded them out of it along with the suits.
Gamers have a point, and you would all still have jobs if you listened.
