Hey F4F, thank you too for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it! I also agree that we will see the results, good or bad. And estimating today would be hard, much less in 3 months in the volatile world we are in.
I understand your point about using tech and AI to do many things, and I'd say we are moving faster than we were moving. Are we moving fast enough? Only time will tell with that too. What I'm trying to do is up our rate of production with what we have by using tools that are available. We've not only put out our normal deliverables, but doing extra new stuff too.
I realize we could take a harder approach and cut staff and keep doing the same amount of work, but my goal is to leverage some amazing talent and produce more instead. Both ways have their merits, and both are certainly always considered.
Regarding outdated methods, I would say that depends on the department. Some are moving more quickly, but I would 100% agree that our methods of production could be improved considerably. We are working on it, and improving it, but still have a long way to go.
Thanks again for the conversation and the respect of a cordial discussion. And I'm sure we both want nothing but the best for the community and the game!!!
