every time someone says "a chip shortage, or they can't find more servers".

So I’d argue that yes, SE’s big sin is being greedy like all other companies, which is why many of them got hit so hard by the timing of this shortage. But getting angry at the dev team won’t fix it, acting like it isn’t real won’t fix it, cause it isn’t fixable rn. It’s a real conundrum.

I would argue that not spending more money than is necessary isn't greedy, it's just smart business. They stated they were willing to spend the money to upgrade once it became apparent it was necessary but the products weren't available. You don't overexpand before you know you can recoup the losses unless you want your company to fail. The situation sucks and a lot of people are having a bad time, but this isn't a "sin".
