Armed with that knowledge, you're suggesting that the number of people impacted negatively was so high that we should have forgone releasing these?
So was the Ghost Stream Manager meant to also help combat packet loss? Or is it more simply a form of "Game state redundancy"? I'm speaking out of wheelhouse here.
I'm always a bit fascinated by these write-ups because so much has to happen in such a small window.
When was the last time we saw a "PHP is Great!" article make it to the front page of HN? Most of the time, PHP developers are on their heels because it seems others are constantly on the offense. I've not figured out what value this constant aggression provides to these developers making the arguments. My only conclusion is that they're just trying to make themselves seem more important. To that note, the pro-PHP camp becomes more of a "non-anti-PHP." :)
I've felt for quite some time that most of the anti-PHP sentiment is an effort of other developers to justify the language they've selected to focus on. "Yeah, I'm doing Javascript and Node.js and yeah it's got it's sharp edges, but at least it's not PHP!"
The problem is, if the negativity continues, the next step is that business WONT want PHP in their ecosystem... And not because it can't get the job done for them, but just because "ew PHP. I heard that was bad."
