Uh, nobody is trying to buy out FIFA....

Wow, so EA’s yearly loan interest alone will be more than their yearly profits.

If they aren't completely toast, they'll be a shell of what they are today, which is already a shell of what they once were.

I've spent thousands of hours using Opus and have never seen this. I'd double-check your claude.md files.
I'm sorry about your experience.

Personally, I only rehire people from projects that went smoothly, not ones where I had to make the urgent phone call.

Teams that "just work" are highly valued. They clear up my attention for other things.

Cool but any chance of audio? That's half of the experience.
