Granted Im just makeing a personal observasion on my postings. I don't blame you for disagreeing.
But we do agree on SOE/Austin hiring an outside consulting firm to be a waste.
At one time, I worked for an engineering firm that was helping GM create a new vehicle. I gave my opinions as well as many others that were actual "car" guys... "car" guys meaning automobile enthusiast. We came up with a great concept and fully expected GM to use our Ideas.
I went to the GM plant in Warren Michigan for a meeting on the new vehicle. They showed me a full scale prototype. I actually said "What the fuck?" out loud. The prototype was nothing like our concept.
It turns out that GM went to an outside consulting firm instead of listening to us "car" guys.
The vehicle that GM came out with was the legendary Aztek.
My point is, SWG/Austin should be smart enough to not make the same mistakes as other companies did and to listen to their customers as opposed to hiring a consulting firm that has no passion for the product they're hired to create.
