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.
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
