Just like how all IT infrastructure in the world is 150 furries and if one of them gets sick youtube goes down.

At one point seven wizards held the seven keys to the internet and if their keys were all combined they could turn off the internet.
Palworld is such a gloriously satisfying clusterfuck to watch. Just bizzare "the god's love idiots and fools" ridiculous shit all the way around.
That bit from the English version of "The IT Crowd" where Jen's gotta go give a speech in front a bunch of big wigs and Moss and Roy give her a box and tell her "this... this is the internet. All of it, right here. Be very careful with it."
If you want to seriously destroy the worlds infrastructure, attacking Midwest FurFest will do more damage than blowing up any pipeline or cutting any wire could possibility do.
Explaining what a Furry convention is to my Houthi homies.
LOL
That was attempted in 2014.

I was there.
IIRC, There was also a thing last year which took out someone's insulin pump.
Yeah, it's gotten so big it's hard to get a hotel so I didn't go, but I heard from friends. Someone was probably using a flipper or some other device with an antenna booster to disrupt Bluetooth signal.
are furries the bourgeosie?
The furrgeosie if you will
for, allegedly, a 40 person company? yeah one guy for the networking sounds about right
Comrades, this isn't an MMO or some complicated multiplayer game. The online component are open servers for 32 people and connecting friends to their self-hosted servers. Connecting friends is something you can easily do with steamworks(although Palworld uses the Epic equivalent IIRC). Assuming they are using some whatever cloud hosting, you could do it with two people.
Its incredible this ragtag group of people managed to produce a game that runs so much better than its contemporary games. Like compare it to Ark, and for godsakes, the ARK 'Remaster' which is somehow worse than the original. Ark had like 10 years to optimize and they can't get it done.
I read something online the other day that said Ark, fully installed with all the official maps and content, no mods is half a damn terabyte of data and (unsurprisingly), it runs poorly.
I have no clue what palworld is, but this sounds like a shit show.
Hopefully this kid is getting his.
475k per month plus one dude's salary honestly sounds relatively cost effective for a game with 1 to 2 million daily players, but then again, I'm not a game dev.
And the daily player numbers will die down over time while Microsoft helps them cope with the overly successful launch.
I think this is just inaccurate though. There's no chance there's one IT guy for a team working on a multiplayer online game.

Hope he is demanding an obscene salary also, given he is the only thing keeping that server running. I wouldn't do it for less than 300k/yr, probably closer to 400k.

The cloud is a scam, its just someone else's computer. If you're a smallish company you're going to be better off in the long run investing in your own hardware and some well paid people that can maintain it. At a certain point it gets harder to scale, but at that point you'll be rolling in the dough if you played your cards right.
Japan can't into IT
People don't know how true this is. Its not just "hur hur fax machines". It's "the file size limit for this upload is 1mb. If you need more, please write us a letter and post it to us so that we can assign more space to you."
If you need more, please write us a letter
Correction. "Send us a Fax" is more accurate.
This one was a real experience and they wanted me to post them a letter. I wish I could have sent a fax.
Massive pain in the NEC.
Japanese business leadership is like if your parents who can’t rotate pdfs had every single notable position and refused to listen to your advice to just click the fucking counter/clockwise arrows because you got a little too angry with them when they called you for said advice
I have a feeling that.. uh. No. There are more people involved at that company.
