No need for apologies man. I wish I had been a little wiser in my teenage years and pursued a career in the tech industry (because I find that stuff pretty interesting these days), but my no means am I unhappy with where I'm at.

I'm also really glad to hear that you guys get a little bit of pull in the industry. I think that often people have a pessimistic view that game companies are being 100% dictated by the business suits who have never touched a console or gaming PC. From what I've seen from SOE/Daybreak through the years, it genuinely sounds like a pretty fun team to work with.

You're right, I definitely didn't consider all the connotations of the word when I wrote up my first post. Just based moreso off personal experience.

I'm not in the software industry, but I'm definitely grateful for the opportunity to do what I do, even though I know I'm worth it (and maybe worth a little more than I get paid for). But in a low-income neighborhood, I see many talented and hardworking people struggle just to find a full-time position offering more than minimum wage.

Sorry for any confusion!

That's just the way companies work.

And I can almost promise you, the person they hire is not going to be some random PS2 player who suddenly decides to donate their time to Daybreak. I imagine that whoever they hire will be someone so grateful just to get a job in the industry that they're not going to care what game they're working on. When you have bills to pay and mouths to feed, you can't afford to be very picky about what job you take.

it's a known thing that reinstalling can fix performance after a patch sometimes, so perhaps this is just an extension of that issue?

Has the DX11 improvement been applied to the PS4 version too?

This reminds me, a few months back, you mentioned porting interpolation technologies to reduce lag with hits on livestream. Is this happening with this next DX11 update?
