What a complete and utter non article. It reads like a bot puked it out in 2016.
I don't remember the exact price, but I got out in early 2018 and was ridiculed. Just got tired of waiting for Catapult, and seeing all the money being spent on global travel, trinkets, but no additional money to build out the dev team... and when Lon and Jeff called it quits, I knew it was time to bail out. No regrets.
I doubt Lon has any regrets either.
The previous administration squandered whatever opportunities they had. The new one has this year to pull it back. If they don't then the fun may be over for good. I retain an open mind.
The main problem is that even if they fulfil all the technical and structural demands, how do you make everyone else give a shit? It's never managed sustained interest or visibility. It's going to need to fire a rocket up every arse and I'm not sure how that can be done.
I guess the prospect of a whole new set up is the strongest possibility. It's also the final one.
