Don't Fall For It

[Cadmar]

I find blaming the launch issues on semiconductor shortage and COVID insulting at best.

This exp has been planned since well before the world fell apart. Once hardware started becoming a problem SE had more than enough time to acquire it and get it up and running before this launch.

They are using it as an excuse and nothing more. My guess is that there was a financial decision made not to add servers dues to cost. *which, yes, may be due to current world issues* And this is fine. I accept the reality of that business decision... What I struggle to accept is twisting it into this "oh poor us, we can't find hardware"

The auto industry is suffering because of the sheer volume of chips they need. SE only required a fraction of that to add servers.

There's nothing that can be done about it. It is what it is and I accept that. It just really upsets me that we are being fed, what I believe, to be a false narrative as an explanation.

Thank you for listening to my rambling TED Talk as I wait in queue.

are you one of those types that also believes the earth is flat?

Does 'it' upset you, or do you simply choose to be upset? You could choose not to be upset. Think about it.

Thank you for attending my therapy session.

Donʻt fall for logging out.

Just park AFK for hours on end so you donʻt lose you place in the world.

Are you sure you are applying rhetoric the correct way? Because to me it looks the other way, what with evidence of multiple other gaming companies being able to meet their deadlines in a timely and neat manner, and gullible people falling for the HURR COVID SEMICONDUURTOR SHORTAGE excuse.

...Are you suggesting that they only began considering adding the OCE data center after the pandemic hit?

So you acknowledge the Chip Shortage, but still say SE is delivering a False Narrative...even after you just addressed the Chip Shortage.
Im sorry, but this TED talk is Garbage.

Giving the Auto-Industry a pass because they need a large volume, while Saying BOO to SE because they dont need as many, is a Bad Argument to claim its all just an Excuse.
If everyone is having issues and competing for a resource, it doesnt matter how much one company needs...if Demand can't be met, all sides lose.

We were warned ahead of time there would be issues, and Every Launch of a New Expansion has a Couple of Hiccups.
It clears up and everything Balances out in about a Month

Yeah an unexpected and unanticipated massive influx of people 3 months ago had entirely nothing to do with it at all. Nope.

If it was 3 months ago it's not unexpected. This is not the Spanish Inquisition.

LOL because a massive infrastructure of server additions in multiple datacenters can be done overnight when servers aren't even available. LMAO! K!
