    This isn't that surprising, he literally fired all the guys that maintained the legacy coding. I make fun of programmers alot, but those bastards are really important for maintaining older systems. The learning curve on existing systems for incoming programmers, no matter how smart, is usually incredibly high, and if you are running a skeleton crew besides, there is no way that anybody had time to look at the skeleton.

        At that point it's worthwhile getting on your hands and knees and begging them to come back with a big bag of money.

          Yeah but why would porky-happy care? The player base isn't growing in any appreciable way, you're just pouring in money to slow down the decline. There is no profit motive, so Capital will not do it. Cause they don't just want money, they want all of the money. (Thank God for JS Sterling)

            The fact the playerbase isn't growing in any appreciable way is the reason they should be begging the people responsible for the old growth to come back.
