Right after launch, we ran into serious server-side issues. Our testing environment didn't trigger these issues, which proved disastrous in actual production use. As a result, the game was virtually unplayable during much of the launch week, and players lost progress and had to restart their Hedge Funds.
Does this mean we are total failures in life? Despicable human beings? Unworthy of calling ourselves developers?
The answer to these questions is yes.
But fear not! After a major overhaul, we’ve made sure this kind of disaster won’t happen again. We’ve added new safeguards so major progress won’t be lost even if server issues occur. We are rolling out significant gameplay improvements over the next couple of weeks. And we are committed to making this the grand, long-term virtual investing saga it deserves to be.
Sorry for the rough start. Let the investing journey begin!
