The only reason servers are acting up right now is because of SE's greed. Period. They didn't upgrade the servers in the past, knowing full well they WILL expect problems on launch in the future, "fixing" 2002 error conveniently right after early access was over. I dont want to hear anything about so called chip shortages or whatever. Other companies find ways to rent servers even if they cost more than usual. If SE truly cared about your experience first and money second, they would do something about it: either rent more servers in advance or atleast test your already existing servers to prevent potential errors, and we all know they can do it, it's not a small indie company with limited resources and unexperienced professionals; instead, they decided to not cut their budget in hopes of potentially getting more money and saving some in the log run. Just admit they f'ed up and move on. Those companies don't care about you and no amount of cringy crying on streams and what not won't change that fact.

How people choose to defend this dick move from SE is beyond me. We truly live in a society, huh?
